Overview

Randomized controlled trial improved self-management and health-related quality of life in CAD patients, indicating wider access to care.

Key Points

  • Participants using the i-CARE app significantly improved self-care behaviors at 3 months, compared to standard care.
  • The intervention led to better health-related quality of life and reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure scores.
  • Assessment through a two-arm randomized controlled trial across two hospitals in Hong Kong demonstrated efficacy.
  • Results suggest that smartphone-based support can help mitigate healthcare workforce shortages and improve outcomes.
