Why the study?
Although modifying lifestyle factors improves prognosis in cardiac patients, the effects of a lifestyle intervention on wearable device-derived data needed evaluation.

May increase activity in cardiac patients via wearables without affecting BP or weight; hypothesis-generating, needing RCTs.
Does a lifestyle intervention monitored by wearable devices improve physical activity and health metrics in cardiac patients?
A wearable-monitored lifestyle intervention in cardiac patients significantly increased physical activity over 210 days, though it did not significantly alter blood pressure or weight.
Broers et al. (2019) studied this question.
