Summary

MyCardiacRecovery (MyCaRe) is an interactive platform that includes a standardized educational format and interactive tracking (wound healing and activity progression using photo capabilities and Fitbit Inspire 2 accelerometer) support during the first 6 to 8 weeks post hospital discharge. This android application will help patients and family navigate their way through the continuum of care by providing an: a) integrated link between acute care and outpatient cardiac rehab (CR) for efficient coordination of information and reduction in duplication of services; b) patient care and education materials designed to address salient recovery questions; c) improved communication between the patient and care providers and, d) ensure streamlined systematic referral to CR. This innovative strategy has the potential to positively impact patient satisfaction, improve patient outcomes and possibly minimize financial constraints placed on the health care system. Phase 1 (preliminary usability testing) of prototype 1.0 is complete. Phase 2 will focus on testing MyCaRe 2.0 in a sample of post cardiac surgery patients using a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) design.
