Expert Curation
Every resource on our site is reviewed and curated by members of the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) – the global leaders in heart rhythm care. When you’re on UpBeat, you are accessing expertise from the specialists who define the standards for electrophysiology (EP).
Independence from Industry
To maintain objectivity, UpBeat does not publish industry-branded materials. While we value the innovations made by medical device and pharmaceutical companies, our educational content remains strictly independent.
Why is this important?
- You can be sure that information on UpBeat is free of bias and based on clinical data and patient outcomes, not promotion of a specific product.
- We focus on an expansive range of available treatments, empowering you to have an informed and balanced conversation with your care team.
- By excluding branded materials, we ensure our expert reviewers have the final and unfiltered word on heart rhythm education.
Current and Evidence-Based
Medicine and technology are constantly evolving. We review our content on a regular basis to ensure that UpBeat reflects the most recent clinical guidelines and research. This commitment means that you are always getting the most up-to-date information for you or your loved one’s care.
Accessible Literacy Levels
Health information shouldn’t be a barrier to quality care. We take the time to review and edit all resources to suit a variety of literacy levels, translating complex medical jargon into clear, actionable language that is easy to understand. UpBeat also hosts information in multiple formats (text, graphics, videos, interactive tools) for a variety of learning styles.
Collaborative Non-Profit Partnerships
HRS is proud to collaborate with respected, non-profit patient advocacy groups and societies. These partnerships allow us to deliver even more resources on specialty topics, combining HRS expertise with the lived-experience perspectives of trusted patient organizations.
