Why the study?
Many patients do not meet recommended physical activity levels after cardiac rehabilitation, making the acceptability of wearable activity trackers and mobile apps for self-management important to evaluate.
Does a mobile health intervention consisting of a wearable tracker, app, and push messages improve physical activity and demonstrate acceptability in older adults after completing cardiac rehabilitation?
Does a mobile health intervention consisting of a wearable tracker, app, and push messages improve physical activity and demonstrate acceptability in older adults after completing cardiac rehabilitation?
A mobile health intervention utilizing a wearable tracker and app is highly acceptable to older adults for maintaining physical activity after cardiac rehabilitation.
