Strong Hearts: A Remote, App-Enabled, Exercise Program for Patients With Congenital Heart Disease (Strong Hearts App)

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Congenital Heart Disease

In brief

The overall goal of this program is to create a remote, mobile application enabled exercise program for patients with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). Pilot trials will consist of a remote exercise program with app-embedded exercise modules designed to promote and encourage safe and healthy exercise habits across a range of CHD anatomies. This app-enabled program will allow for real time data collection integrating wearable devices, as well as compliance and safety monitoring to enhance research capabilities. The app-enabled program will be versatile and may be applied in the future to patients with non-cardiac conditions.
