Summary
This study tests a new care program for older adults in Thailand who have had a heart attack. The program combines in-person education, motivational counseling, and a mobile app to help them adopt healthy habits and track their recovery. Researchers will measure if this approach improves their health, satisfaction, and reduces unplanned hospital visits over 12 weeks.
