NCT ID NCT06759805
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
