Why the study?
Centre-based cardiac rehabilitation became difficult during the COVID-19 pandemic, and little is known about the safety and efficacy of digital therapeutics-based cardiac rehabilitation in heart failure patients.
Does digital therapeutics-based cardiac rehabilitation safely improve exercise capacity and quality of life in heart failure patients?
