IMPACT Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether adding digital coaching to an existing home-based cardiac rehabilitation program will improve patient engagement and outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Veterans aged 50 or older with a history of cardiovascular disease who have been referred to home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR). They must speak and read English, as the digital coaching will be in English. Those already participating in center-based CR, with cognitive impairments, unstable clinical conditions, or insufficient English proficiency are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether adding digital coaching (d-Coaching) to home-based cardiac rehab improves participation and health outcomes. It includes a private social media group for support, personalized feedback via text messaging and video calls, and monitoring through connected devices like Fitbits.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions like virtual coaching and social support networks rather than drugs or medical procedures, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience privacy concerns with online interactions or stress from technology use.
