Smartphone application-based rehabilitation in patients with chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases: a randomised controlled trial study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Rehabilitation is well known to improve clinical symptoms and decrease the risk of mortality in patients with chronic respiratory or cardiovascular diseases. We will evaluate the efficacy of smartphone application-based rehabilitation programmes in patients with chronic respiratory or cardiovascular diseases.

Methods and analysis

This single-centre single-blind randomised controlled trial will recruit a total of 162 participants from Asan Medical Center (81 patients each for pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation, respectively). Participants will be assigned to the pulmonary or cardiac rehabilitation groups based on their underlying disease. Participants will be allocated randomly into the intervention or control groups at the ratio of 2:1 (54 and 27 patients). Th
