Home Base Exercises

The study developed 3 approaches that innovate beyond the existing delivery modes of the SAFE programme, by developing means for providing an intervention that is functionally equivalent to the SAFE programme but can be implemented in a patient's home. These home approaches include: (a) video conferencing; (b) gamification; and (3) self-guided home exercise programme. The investigators' task is to focus on developing these 3 modes and evaluating each in a pilot context for participants upon discharge from the hospital.
