Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of an eHealth intervention for cardiac patients during their waiting period before their rehabilitation.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the feasibility of an eHealth intervention designed for cardiac patients with a low socio-economic position during the waiting period before their cardiac rehabilitation.
* What is the potential effect of this intervention on patient activation and feelings of certainty and guidance.

Participants will:

* Be randomised in either intervention or control group
* Fill in a questionnaire at the start of their waiting period (after release from the hospital)
* Use the eHealth intervention during their waiting period (usually 2 to 6 weeks)(intervention group only)
* Fill in a questionnaire at the start of their rehabilitation

Researchers will compare intervention and control group to see if the intervention has improved patient activation and feelings of certainty and guidance.

Interventions

DEVICE

CapriXpress

The app is a digital, tailored intervention aimed at activating patients during their waiting period between discharge from hospital and start of their cardiac rehabilitation by providing certainty and guidance. The goal of the intervention is to reach the end-goal: the start of the rehabilitation. Progression towards this end-goal is made automatically as time advances. The intervention provides guidance by providing the patient with a set of daily messages. These messages are pre-made by representatives of different disciplines within cardiac rehabilitation. The messages contain discipline-related information and suggestions as well as a perspective on peer experiences. Each day, the patient is free to choose which and the number of messages to engage with.
