Digital recovery: web program aims to boost wellbeing after cardiac arrest
NCT ID NCT07240714
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week web-based support program can improve wellbeing in adults who survived a cardiac arrest 1 to 3 months earlier. The program includes educational modules, videos, breathing exercises, and a chat forum. Researchers will compare 120 participants who use the program plus standard care against those receiving standard care alone, measuring wellbeing, quality of life, and emotional health at 3 and 6 months.

- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 120 participants. The program may not significantly improve wellbeing compared to standard care alone.
