64 participants in 2 patient groups

Smart device-based rehabilitation

Experimental group

Description:

One month after myocardial infarction, patients will receive a smart band and a cellphone in order to transmit data on physical activity to electronic health record. A study nurse will periodically check compliance with recommended physical activity and intervene in the case of non-compliance.

Treatment:

Device: Smart device-based cardiac rehabilitation

Control group

No Intervention group

Description:

Patients will receive a guideline directed recommendation to increase physical activity to 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a week.
