Home telehealth coaching to improve mood after heart hospitalization
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests a home-based telehealth program (behavioral activation coaching) to improve functioning in people who recently left the hospital after a heart-related event and also have major depression. It may help you feel more able to do everyday activities and better manage depression symptoms.
