Summary

Heart disease is a leading cause of death and disability in Canada. Providing social and peer supports has been proven to help patients manage their health and stay out of the hospital. The use of telehealth has opened up a wider possibility of patients receiving peer support while staying in their homes and communities. The investigators plan to study a new application for supporting patients through peer support. The application can be accessed by smartphone, tablet and desktop/laptop computer. Over two years, the investigators anticipate that the application (Healing Circles) will improve patient self care and reduce hospitalizations.
