Summary

This study tests a 12-week home-based digital program called eCardiacRehab for people who have had a heart procedure (PCI). The program includes video messages, modules, and tracking to support recovery. Researchers want to see if patients will use it regularly and find it acceptable. The goal is to make cardiac rehabilitation more accessible, especially for older adults, women, and those with other health issues.

Active substance

home-based digital cardiac rehabilitation program

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide an effective, accessible alternative to traditional center-based cardiac rehab, helping more patients recover at home.

What could go wrong

This is a small feasibility study (80 participants) focused on engagement and adherence, not yet testing health outcomes. The digital format may not suit all patients, and results may not generalize beyond Norway.
