Improving adherence to cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation through home-based programs and behavioral nudges
Enhancing cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation adherence through home-based rehabilitation and behavioral nudges: ERA Nudge
This study is looking to help more people, especially those from lower-income backgrounds, join and stick with heart and lung rehab programs by using tools like a mobile app for support and options to do rehab at home, all while gathering feedback to make the experience better for everyone involved.

What this research studies
This research aims to enhance participation and completion rates in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs, particularly among individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds. It employs a multi-faceted approach that includes using electronic health records to boost referrals, offering options for home-based rehabilitation, and implementing behavioral nudges through a mobile application called Movn. Patients will receive personalized messaging to encourage adherence to their rehabilitation plans, and feedback will be gathered from patients and healthcare providers to refine these interventions. The study will take place at Denver Health Medical Center, focusing on diverse patient populations.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals with cardiac or pulmonary conditions, particularly those from low socioeconomic backgrounds who may benefit from enhanced rehabilitation support.
Not a fit: Patients who are not undergoing cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation or those who do not have access to mobile technology may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved health outcomes and quality of life for patients undergoing cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that behavioral nudges and home-based rehabilitation can improve adherence in similar patient populations, indicating a promising approach.
