Following the completion of basic characteristics assessment prior to discharge, a 12 weeks tele-CR program was implemented for all participants. The tele-CR program is divided into three parts: motivational interview, App delivery, and self-management and tracking. The motivational interviewing during hospitalization, which involved evaluating individual risk factors, setting behavioral goals, and providing training on the installation and operation of the tele-CR App (approximately 30-60 minutes per session).
