Summary

This study looks at whether adding digital coaching to home-based cardiac rehabilitation helps veterans with heart disease complete more rehab sessions and improve their health. 150 veterans from two programs will be randomly assigned to standard home rehab or home rehab plus a private social media group with coaching and video sessions. The goal is to see if the extra support increases participation, physical activity, and well-being over six months.
