Patients receptive to home-based cardiac telerehabilitation programs

17 Jan 2022 by

Patients seem to have positive opinions of home-based cardiac telerehabilitation programs, finding the usability, utility, and acceptability of such interventions to be good, according to a recent Singapore study. Nevertheless, these programs still have room for improvement, particularly as regards interactivity, peer interactions, and postintervention support.
