VIDA Mobile Health Cardiovascular Prevention Program

The purpose of this study is to understand the effects of a mobile health cardiovascular prevention program in patients who have recently graduated from cardiac rehabilitation. The mobile health program will focus on promoting healthy lifestyles through the use of a mobile application (app), mobile physical activity monitor and a system of remote health coaching. By testing a novel mHealth intervention focused on lifestyle modification, this trial will address a critical evidence gap in the care of patients after they graduate from CR. Many patients who graduate from traditional CR struggle with unhealthy lifestyles, and these patients currently have no lifestyle-based care strategies to help them. The results of this study have the potential to lead to new sustainable and resource-efficient, lifestyle-based preventive care strategies for patients with stable CVD.
