In a pilot study, we assessed the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of a cardiac rehabilitation program, using a combination of mobile application and multidisciplinary caregiver control center. We also evaluated clinical and physiological outcomes as well as adherence to the exercise program in patients with low cardiovascular risk. Methods: A total of 22 patients with established coronary artery disease participated in a 6-month tele-cardiac rehabilitation (tele-CR) program. Datos Health, a novel digital health application and care-team dashboard, was used for remote monitoring, communication and management of the patient. Conclusion: Patients who participated in tele-CR adhere well to the exercise program and attained good functional improvement. Tele-CR program is a viable option for populations that cannot, or elect not to participate in center based tele-CR programs.
