A 21st Century Approach for Improving Self-Management of Heart Disease

心脏病发作后，改变生活方式并坚持服用处方药可以降低未来心脏病发作的风险，并有助于康复。然而，心脏康复的接受度和依从性很低。这项研究将观察智能手机提供的心脏康复计划是否能改善人们在心脏病发作后的康复，并代表物有所值。这种方法可以改善所有澳大利亚人获得和使用心脏康复服务的机会。

After a heart attack, implementing lifestyle changes and adhering to prescribed medication reduces the risk of future heart events and aids recovery. However uptake and adherence to recommended cardiac rehabilitation is low. This study will see if a smartphone-delivered cardiac rehabilitation program improves people’s recovery following a heart event, and represents value for money. This approach could improve access to, and use of cardiac rehabilitation services for all Australians.
