What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a digital lifestyle platform designed to support patients after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. The goal is to see if this telemedicine tool is feasible, usable, and engaging for patients with conditions like acute coronary syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, fragility fractures, and minor stroke. The study focuses on promoting long-term self-management and healthy habits during outpatient care, addressing challenges patients face after rehabilitation ends. Participants will be randomly assigned to either use the digital platform or receive usual post-rehabilitation care without the platform. Those in the platform group will access personalized lifestyle suggestions, educational content, and advice from healthcare professionals through their devices for six months. They can organize recommendations and provide feedback to tailor future advice. The platform includes a chat function and is continuously improved based on user input. During the study, participants will attend visits or complete remote assessments to evaluate how usable and engaging the platform is. Researchers will measure feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and adherence to the program monthly over six months. They will also track quality of life, daily steps, overall functioning, and user acceptance of digital health technologies at various points. Participants continue their usual outpatient care alongside the study activities.
