NCT ID NCT07211282
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special activity score, calculated from heart rate data, can help people who have completed cardiac rehab stick to exercise guidelines. About 318 participants will wear a smartwatch for 4 months and do an exercise test at the end. Researchers will compare those who get feedback from the score with those who don't.
What this could mean

Active substance
Activity score (AAI) via smartwatch
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give doctors a simple tool to help heart patients stay active and improve fitness after rehab.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial focused on monitoring, not a treatment. The activity score may not actually change behavior or improve health outcomes.
