Heart recovery goes virtual: gamified rehab proves just as effective

NCT ID NCT05897710

Summary

This study tested whether a virtual reality-based cardiac rehabilitation program works as well as traditional in-person rehab for people recovering from heart events. Nearly 3,000 participants across the US tried either the virtual program or standard care for 12 weeks. The virtual program included exercise tracking, education, and remote coaching to help patients improve heart health from home.
