Wearable activity coaching after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized activity program and coaching after heart surgery, using wearable sensors to track movement. It may help you recover more safely and move in a goal-directed way during rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have certain heart conditions and are scheduled for planned (not emergency) heart surgery: bypass, aortic valve replacement, or mitral valve repair
- You do not have severe non-heart illness or mobility limitations that would prevent safe physical activity
- You can and are willing to wear a hip and wrist movement sensor (accelerometer)
- You can and are willing to use a smartphone app
- Your hospital course should not involve prolonged time in intensive care after surgery
- You should not have a memory condition such as Alzheimer’s disease
