Summary

This study tests whether digital health tools can help people recover safely at home after a heart attack. Researchers will compare two types of follow-up care: education alone versus education plus extra support like symptom tracking and virtual appointments. The goal is to reduce emergency visits and improve mental well-being for 300 patients in Manitoba.
