About myPotential

myPotential is an iPhone and Apple Watch app that helps you follow the CHOP exercise program with clear pacing guidance.

Following a printed protocol on your own means calculating target ranges by hand, watching the clock, and keeping track of 242 sessions across eight months. myPotential handles all of that: it works out your target heart-rate range from your age, provides gentle audio and haptic cues when your heart rate drifts, and keeps your place in the program so you always know what’s next.

The CHOP Modified Dallas Exercise Program

The app follows the CHOP Modified Dallas Exercise Program, an 8-month, 242-session graduated exercise program developed by researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and UT Southwestern. The program progresses from recumbent to upright training, using target heart-rate ranges to pace each session.

The program has been studied in peer-reviewed exercise research. That research is about the CHOP Exercise Program itself — not about this app.

Important: myPotential has not undergone independent clinical validation. The app displays the program’s session structure and calculates target ranges using the same formula the program specifies — it does not create or modify the program.
