NCT ID NCT06479876
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program delivered through a custom mobile app for people with heart failure. Participants use the app for education, mindfulness, and physical activity guidance, plus periodic video calls with an exercise physiologist. The goal is to see if this approach improves daily activity, quality of life, and reduces hospital visits compared to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
home-based cardiac rehabilitation via a custom mobile app with video coaching
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient, app-based rehab option for heart failure patients who cannot attend center-based programs.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app-based approach may not work for those without smartphones or digital literacy.
