What this trial studies

This study evaluates the VIRTUES digital healthcare application designed to assist patients with various cardiac conditions, including heart diseases and arrhythmias. The application provides tailored recommendations and educational resources based on clinical practice guidelines, targeting 11 modifiable health factors. It aims to improve access to cardiac rehabilitation, especially for patients in rural areas of Canada who may lack local in-person clinics. By utilizing a user-friendly interface, VIRTUES helps patients manage their conditions effectively through personalized health information and guidance.
