TIMELY-PrädiktoR: predicting who benefits from cardiac rehabilitation
Official title: TIMELY-PrädiktoR Prospective Study
Run by University of Witten/Herdecke · NCT05461729 · Data updated 2026-11-12
The project will collect detailed health, lifestyle, and rehab data from people with coronary artery disease in phase II cardiac rehabilitation to see if AI can find patterns that predict who benefits most.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with coronary artery disease after myocardial infarction, angioplasty/PCI, or coronary artery bypass who are enrolled in and able to participate in phase II cardiac rehabilitation and can provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with unstable coronary or cerebrovascular conditions, acute infections, or those unable to participate in phase II cardiac rehabilitation or to give informed consent are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
TIMELY-PrädiktoR is an observational program that gathers high-resolution clinical, behavioral, and remote-monitoring data from coronary artery disease patients participating in phase II cardiac rehabilitation. The protocol records biological, psychological, and social variables alongside telemedicine and lifestyle measures to build a comprehensive dataset. Machine-learning and data-mining methods will be applied to identify intra-individual factors and interactions linked to rehabilitation success and future risk. Participants receive standard cardiac rehabilitation while data are collected at Klinik Königsfeld for analysis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could enable more personalized cardiac rehabilitation by predicting which patients will respond best to specific interventions, improving recovery and reducing future cardiac events.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research using remote monitoring and artificial intelligence to predict cardiac outcomes has shown promising but still exploratory results rather than definitive clinical adoption.
