Is a cardiac telerehabilitation program cost-effective?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
While a cardiac telerehabilitation program increased participation and had low direct intervention costs, it was not found to be cost-effective in its current form.
Even though the rehabilitation activities increased, the program does not appear to be cost-effective. The intervention itself was not costly (less than €500), and increasing the number of patients may show reduced costs of the devices and make the CTR more cost-effective. Telerehabilitation can increase participation, but the intervention, in its current form, does not appear to be cost-effective.
