About

Maintaining physical activity after cardiac rehabilitation has a major role in disease progression and patient prognosis. 6 months after the cardiac rehabilitation, we find during a nursing interview that many patients do not maintain regular physical activity.

1 year after cardiac rehabilitation, between 30% and 60% of patients do not maintain the recommendations in terms of physical activity.

It is recommended to perform studies evaluating the effectiveness of new technologies in the fight against non-compliance recommendations for physical activity.

That is why, study the interest of using an application connected post-cardiac rehabilitation seems necessary to fight against dropouts in terms of physical activity.
