Virtual Care Strategies for Veteran Cardiac Rehabilitation

This study is exploring new ways to help Veterans participate in cardiac rehabilitation (CR), a program that helps people recover after heart problems. Many Veterans don't complete traditional CR programs, so this study is testing a home-based approach called d-Coaching. This involves using a mobile app called MOVN to provide virtual social support, educational materials, personalized feedback, and motivation. You might be able to join if you're a Veteran aged 21 or older with a history of heart disease (like a heart attack, bypass surgery, or heart failure) and have been referred to home-based CR. The main goal is to see if d-Coaching helps Veterans attend more home-based CR sessions over three months. The study aims to enroll 150 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
