Smart Watch Insights to Prevent Exacerbations and Recurrence - Health Study: SWIPER-HEALTH

Uptake of cardiac rehabilitation

Aims of the study:
 
 - To measure the rate of completion of a digital cardiac rehabilitation programme at
 Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHNT)
 
 - To measure the health economic impact of a digital cardiac rehabilitation programme at
 ICHNT
 
 Any adult patient eligible for ICHNT cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes is eligible to
 participate. Participants will receive a commercially available smart watch and be asked to
 wear the device as much as possible. In addition, they will be asked to download a smartphone
 application called 'Imperial Healthy Hearts', which displays movement and information on
 heart rate, breathing and oxygen levels to both the participant and the research team
 (digital data). The Healthy Hearts app also allows the direct care team to provide
 educational materials to patients as part of their routine care.
 
 The clinical content and structure of the CR programme is determined by the clinical CR team,
 and does not deviate from established local and national standards and practices.
 
 Researchers will capture physiological data such as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood
 pressure (where available) and oxygen saturation (where available) via the Healthy Hearts
 platform. Researchers will also capture clinical information from the electronic health
 record, and will compare CR programme uptake and completion rates with historical data and
 national targets.
