Augmented reality app aims to boost heart patient recovery
NCT ID NCT07399379
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an augmented reality (AR) tool, accessed via a QR code on a smartphone, could help heart patients better understand their discharge instructions. 303 adults hospitalized for heart attack, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, or pacemaker implantation took part. The goal was to see if the AR tool improved patients' experience, medication adherence, and reduced hospital readmissions compared to standard discharge paperwork alone.
