Study Summary

This trial will test if a smartphone app & regular phone calls can help deliver better cardiac rehab to eligible veterans, resulting in better outcomes & decreased hospitalization rates.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for veterans who've had a heart attack in the last year, stable chest pain, heart surgery like bypass or valve replacement, angioplasty or stenting, heart transplants, or other specific heart conditions. They must be eligible for cardiac rehab and not have uncontrolled health issues like severe diabetes or high blood pressure.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if a smartphone app and phone calls can help deliver better cardiac rehabilitation at home compared to usual care. It looks at whether patients stick with the program better, manage their symptoms well, learn more about their condition, and if it reduces hospital visits.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves exercise and education through an app rather than medication, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from new physical activities or technical issues with using the smartphone application.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Pulmonary Rehabilitation - Movn ProgramExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or hospitalized with an acute exacerbation of COPD will undergo an in-home pulmonary rehabilitation program.

Group II: Cardiac Rehabilitation - Movn ProgramExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants with coronary artery disease (CAD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are eligible for cardiac rehabilitation will undergo an in-home program.

Group III: Traditional Cardiac RehabilitationActive Control1 Intervention

Participants enrolled in a facility's traditional cardiac rehabilitation program will be seen at baseline and during a 12 and 24 week follow-up visit.
