Smartphone based secondary prevention program for patients with acute coronary syndromes: a randomised control trial [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Matias Yudi (Principal investigator)

Brief description Patients at the highest risk of premature death, heart attacks and re-hospitalization are those with known coronary heart disease. Secondary prevention strategies and cardiac rehabilitation are under-utilised in clinical practice. We aim to close this treatment gap by establishing the role of a smartphone based secondary prevention program in patients who have experienced a heart attack. Our innovative model of care may empower patients to optimise their cardiac health.
