A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Sedentary adults at least three months after a myocardial infarction will be enrolled and assigned to a home-based exercise plan delivered and monitored via a digital health application or to a control group receiving usual care. The app provides personalized exercise plans, real-time feedback, progress tracking, and motivational features to support adherence. Outcomes will include measures of kinesiophobia and functional capacity assessed before and after the intervention period. The approach aims to extend cardiac rehabilitation access for those unable to attend clinic-based programs.
