Data driven cardiac rehabilitation
Insufficient physical activity increases the risk of adverse health outcomes in people with a cardiovascular condition. Data-driven solutions, coupled with data from motion sensors, can enable healthcare providers to prescribe advice at the right time. This might prevent a sedentary lifestyle for individuals after a cardiac incident.
Results
We anticipate that our research will achieve the following objectives:
- Understanding of the trajectory of movement behaviour after a cardiac incident.
- Insights into key predictor of movement behaviour after a cardiac incident.
- An accessible data-driven tool for involved healthcare providers within cardiac rehabilitation.
Duration
01 August 2023 - 01 August 2025
Approach
The project will commence with an observational study across three hospitals: UMC Utrecht, St. Antonius, and Gelderse Vallei. Within this study data will be collected on health factors, and participants will receive a motion sensor to track their movement behaviour. Subsequently, in a collaborative effort, a tool (such as a dashboard) will be developed to provide healthcare providers and patients with guidance for delivering data-driven personalised care within cardiac rehabilitation.
