Summary
This study is testing a digital app called VIRTUES that provides heart patients with educational resources and treatment recommendations based on guidelines. Researchers will enroll 2000 patients with various heart conditions to use the app for about a month and give feedback. The goal is to see if the app is easy to use and helps patients feel more in control of their care, especially those who lack access to in-person clinics.
