Lunde et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Post-cardiac rehabilitation. Smartphone application vs. Control group was evaluated on Exercise capacity (p=< 0.001). Long-term follow-up with a smartphone application significantly improved exercise capacity compared with a control group in patients post-cardiac rehabilitation (P<0.001).
