HOMERUNHITTER Trial Summary

This trial is testing a home-based cardiac rehab program delivered using an app & digital tools to help improve health outcomes in those undergoing transcatheter heart valve interventions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for heart valve disease patients who've had a transcatheter heart valve intervention via the leg. They must be able to use an activity tracker, not planning on joining center-based rehab, and capable of using digital tools without physical or mental limitations that would interfere.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a home-based cardiac rehab program delivered through an app and digital tools after heart valve surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to control, hands-off mobile health intervention, or interactive mobile health intervention for either 12 or 24 weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves exercise and lifestyle changes rather than medication, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue. The specifics will depend on individual health conditions.
