Summary

To evaluate the effect of home-based exercise plan mediated by a digital health application on kinesiophobia and functional capacity in sedentary post myocardial infarction patients. Evidence suggest that digital health application significantly improve physical activity level in patient following cardiac event by providing personalized exercise plan, real time feed back, progress tracking and motivational features which enhanced adherence and engagement in rehabilitation program. This study could offer a viable le solution for overcoming barrier to rehabilitation particularly for those unable to access traditional clinic-based program

Detailed description

Mobile health (m health) strategies to increase adherence to physical activity is a promising approach. Mobile technology has become more integrated with health care and use of mobile health apps has become feasible for even the most novice users. Mobile health app can be effective adjuncts for the management of chronic condition and have a positive impact on long term behavior. The mobile health app promote the physical activity maintenance after cardiac rehabilitation. Recently, researchers have stated that mobile health intervention promoting the physical activity in the patient of cardiovascular disease. Mobile health intervention promote physical activity and daily step count after completing cardiac rehab.

Conditions
