Does an Internet-based activity prescription with online coaching improve physical activity in patients with coronary heart disease?
An internet-based activity prescription with online coaching (CardioFit) successfully increases physical activity in patients with coronary heart disease, potentially extending the reach of secondary prevention services.
Offers scalable remote coaching to boost activity in CHD; extends secondary prevention beyond in-person programs.
Patients with CHD using an Internet-based activity prescription with online coaching were more physically active at follow up than those receiving usual care. Use of the CardioFit program could extend the reach of rehabilitation and secondary-prevention services.
