Overview

iCARE app development is hypothesis-generating for CHD adherence; randomized trials needed before clinical use.

Structured PICO

Does the iCARE mHealth application demonstrate satisfactory usability and feasibility in patients with acute coronary syndromes or post-PCI?

P
Population
289 patients with acute coronary syndromes and/or who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (88 in usability test cohort, 201 in implementation cohort).
I
Intervention
iCARE (Individualized, Intelligent and Integrated Cardiovascular Application for Risk Elimination system), an mHealth application providing individualized interventions and IF-THEN algorithms for unhealthy lifestyle modification and secondary preventive medications adherence.
O
Outcome
Usability and feasibility (patient satisfaction, usefulness, and ease of use).patient reported
