What this research studies
If you have INOCA, this project offers a home cardiac rehabilitation program delivered through a smartphone and wearable device. You would receive exercise coaching, activity tracking, symptom reporting, and remote monitoring instead of traveling to a clinic. The team will use the device data and questionnaires to track your physical activity and symptoms over time. The approach aims to overcome barriers like distance, cost, and scheduling that limit access to traditional cardiac rehab.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults with ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) who have angina, shortness of breath, or fatigue and can use a smartphone or wearable are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People without INOCA, those who cannot use mobile devices, or patients needing immediate revascularization are unlikely to benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: May improve symptoms and quality of life while making cardiac rehabilitation easier to access for people with INOCA.
How similar studies have performed: Mobile cardiac rehabilitation has helped other heart disease groups, but it has not been widely tested in INOCA and is therefore relatively unproven for this specific condition.
