Home Tai Chi Program for Heart Failure Patients and Caregivers
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a home-based Tai Chi program using a smartphone app can improve the health and well-being of people with chronic heart failure who are mostly sedentary. It also looks at how this program affects their caregivers, who will practice Tai Chi alongside them.
