Home-based cardiac rehab after transcatheter valve procedures powered by a new mobile health program

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This project aims to extend the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation to people who have had transcatheter valve procedures by delivering a home-based program via a mobile health platform. It will enroll adults undergoing aortic or mitral THVI and compare a novel HBCR approach to standard care, with some participants also followed in a registry if they choose CBCR. The study uses activity monitoring and behavior support to boost physical activity, improve functional capacity, and enhance quality of life over time. Outcomes include clinical events, activity levels, QoL, and healthcare utilization across multiple centers. If successful, the program could make rehab more accessible and empower patients to manage their recovery at home.
