MHealth Support in Cardiac Care Pathways for Patient Self-Management During Transitions From Hospital to Rehabilitation: Exploratory Field Study.

ABSTRACT: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is essential for recovery from cardiovascular disease. However, patients often encounter challenges in navigating the transition from acute hospital care to CR. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies may support this critical phase; however, evidence regarding their clinical practice remains limited. The HERO app (developed by REDOX GmbH) was developed to address the needs of patients with cardiovascular disease for orientation, emotional support, and motivation during this transition.
