Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial of the feasibility and utility of implementing a smartphone application (MVN) to maintain compliance with a Heart Healthy lifestyle after discharge from a cardiac outpatient rehabilitation program. Patients will be randomized into one of two groups: usual care (control: UC) or Movn mobile application (intervention: MVN). This study will improve and strengthen data collection from this at-risk patient population by recording baseline clinical and psycho social measures while gaining insight into self-reporting of physical activity and frequency between the UC and MVN groups.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Usual Care
Discharge packet of Heart Healthy instructions, with self-report health status, quality of life and psychosocial questionnaires, as well as other educational handouts, exit interview to review exercise progress, receive referrals to additional medical services they might need after discharge from the program, with physician.
• Movn application (MVN)
Intervention participants will receive the same discharge packet as the UC group along with their exit interview and will receive the following: Participant individualized Heart Healthy instructions for post-cardiac rehabilitation will be integrated into the MVN application including daily medication reminders, physical activity prompts, educational materials, and patient-reported outcome assessment of behavior and psychosocial status. Text messages will be used on an ad hoc basis to provide positive feedback to the participant; two-way messaging between the participant and the research coordinator will be available to provide opportunities to answer specific questions.
