Smartphone Delivered In-home Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine if a remote cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation program delivered via a smartphone application and regular telephone calls will lead to improved delivery of cardiac rehabilitation compared to usual care. This includes increased adherence for eligible veterans, increased program completion, improved patient outcomes as measured by functional capacity, improved patient compliance in monitoring symptoms, improved self-efficacy and knowledge in managing disease and, a decreased rate of hospitalization and re-admissions.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

MULTIFIT Cardiac Rehabilitation

MULTIFIT is a cardiac rehabilitation program delivered by the Movn smartphone application that will provide risk factor modification, prescribed exercises, education and counseling. The application will track activity using a built-in accelerometer or through connected devices such as a Fitbit for daily physical activity and management. Weight and blood pressure (BP) will be tracked by manual input or through wireless scales and BP monitors. The program will last for 12 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Movn Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Movn pulmonary rehabilitation is a program delivered by the Movn smartphone application that includes targeted educational content and prescribed exercises with mild resistance training in addition to walking and other cardiovascular exercises. The application will track activity using a built-in accelerometer or through connected devices such as a Fitbit for daily physical activity and management. Weight and blood pressure (BP) will be tracked by manual input or through wireless scales and BP monitors. The program will last for 12 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard of Care Cardiac Rehabilitation

Standard cardiac rehabilitation involves a facility's standard rehabilitation practices. Participants will be seen at baseline and during a 12 and 24 week follow-up visit.
