Summary
This trial tests a 12-week home-based digital cardiac rehabilitation program for people with coronary artery disease. It aims to improve heart health, reduce hospital visits, and enhance quality of life, especially for older adults, women, and those with other health issues. The study will enroll 1000 participants across multiple centers in Norway.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide an effective home-based alternative to traditional cardiac rehab, making it accessible to more patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single trial with 1000 participants, and the digital approach may not work as well for all patients, especially those with limited tech skills.
