The JUMPSTART Program: Encouraging Early Mobilization and Optimizing Recovery of TAVR Patients' Post-hospital Discharge

A virtual, self-directed, and tailored early mobilization program called JUMPSTART, that aims to bridge cardiac rehabilitation intake for post-TAVR patients has been developed at the Hamilton General Hospital. The program includes a series of exercise videos at varying levels of intensity, designed for patients to follow at home, post-discharge. JUMPSTART is currently being offered as part of clinical care. In this new pilot study, the study team plans to develop and test new strategies to optimize recruitment and participation, develop additional JUMPSTART materials and evaluate outcomes through follow-up surveys and registry/administrative data at Hamilton General Hospital.
