The Effect of a Smartphone-assisted Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in Patients With Heart Failure.
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the impact of a case manager-led smartphone-assisted hybrid cardiac rehabilitation program with usual care in patients with HF. Participants will undergo a 12-week program led by a case manager and assisted by a smartphone. The study aims to answer two main questions: 1. Is the novel cardiac rehabilitation model feasible for patients with HF? 2. Does the intervention group show a significant improvement in exercise capacity and adherence compared to the usual care group?

smartphone-assisted hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (SHCR)
The 12-week case manager-led SHCR program includes: * Customized exercise prescriptions following ACSM's heart failure guidelines. * A hybrid program combining in-person sessions, home self-exercise, and videoconferencing for exercise coaching(optional), supported by a smartphone app. * Case managers instruct patients on a communication app for weekly follow-ups, health education messages, exercise reminders, and progress tracking, including metrics like blood pressure, heart rate, weight, and symptoms.
