Adaptive Digital Exercise Rehabilitation for Children After CHD Surgery
Sponsor: The Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI)-based digital exercise rehabilitation program can improve postoperative recovery in children after congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery. The study will examine whether this system can: Improve cardiopulmonary endurance, cardiac function, and muscle strength Increase rehabilitation adherence and enhance training experience while reducing exercise-related fear Researchers will compare children receiving the adaptive digital exercise rehabilitation program with those receiving standard postoperative rehabilitation to determine whether the digital program provides additional clinical and behavioral benefits. Participants will: Wear non-invasive monitoring devices to collect real-time physiological data Engage in daily structured exercise rehabilitation sessions guided by the digital system Receive adaptive adjustments in exercise intensity based on real-time physiological feedback Complete questionnaires on recovery, emotional status, and rehabilitation experience

Interventions
JITAI-Based Digital Exercise Rehabilitation Program
This behavioral intervention uses a Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI)-based digital rehabilitation program to provide individualized exercise guidance for children recovering from congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery. The program integrates wearable monitoring devices with a digital rehabilitation platform to deliver real-time exercise prompts, adaptive training intensity adjustments, and continuous feedback based on physiological signals and exercise performance. During the intervention, participants receive structured postoperative exercise training that includes daily activity guidance, monitoring of heart rate and oxygen saturation, safety alerts, and automated recommendations to support adherence and optimize training effectiveness. The system aims to improve cardiopulmonary endurance, functional capacity, and recovery-related behaviors while ensuring safety through real-time monitoring and adaptive adjustments.
Standard Exercise Rehabilitation Program
A conventional post-operative exercise rehabilitation program based on existing pediatric cardiac rehabilitation guidelines. The program includes routine breathing training, early mobilization, and graded activity exercises supervised by clinical staff. No adaptive algorithm or real-time system-driven adjustments are used. Wearable devices may be used for data collection only, without influencing the intervention.
