First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a nurse-led disease management program using a mobile app and telehealth for people with coronary artery disease at high risk of returning to the hospital. The program aimed to help patients manage their condition through education, medication support, and lifestyle changes. Researchers compared this approach to standard care in 101 adults aged 30-74 to see if it reduced hospital readmissions or death.
