Summary

This study tests a remote, app-enabled exercise program designed for people aged 10 to 50 with congenital heart disease. Participants use a smartphone app with exercise modules and wearable devices to track heart rate and progress. The goal is to see if this approach can safely improve fitness, measured by changes in peak oxygen uptake, and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Strong Hearts Exercise Program (a remote, app-enabled exercise program with wearable integration)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a safe, accessible way for people with congenital heart disease to improve their fitness and quality of life from home.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply to everyone. The program's effectiveness and safety in a broader population remain uncertain.
