Effects of Individualized Follow-Up With an App Postcardiac Rehabilitation: Five-Year Follow-Up of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Despite rapid advancements in the m Health research field, only a few studies have investigated whether app use can support adherence to lifestyle changes after completing CR. Duscha and colleagues [8] conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of an m Health intervention, including an app, on exercise capacity (peak oxygen uptake [VO2peak]) after CR [8]. Among 32 patients randomized, they observed a significant increase in absolute VO2peak at the 12-week follow-up.
