Can a smartphone app help heart patients recover at home?
NCT ID NCT06816693
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a 12-week mobile app program for heart rehab is practical and liked by patients with coronary heart disease. 34 adults used the app after leaving the hospital, and researchers tracked how many signed up, used the app, and stayed in the program. The goal was to see if this approach is worth studying further, not to measure health outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
tele-CR program (behavioral intervention via mobile app)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could pave the way for a larger trial testing whether app-based rehab improves heart health outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to all heart patients. It does not measure actual health improvements.
