Abstract
- Background: Participation in ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation remains low, especially among older adults. Although mobile health cardiac rehabilitation (mHealth-CR) provides a novel opportunity to deliver care, age-specific impairments may limit older adults' uptake, and efficacy data are currently lacking.<br />Objective: This study aims to describe the design of the rehabilitation using mobile health for older adults with ischemic heart disease in the home setting (RESILIENT) trial.<br />Methods: RESILIENT is a multicenter randomized clinical trial that is enrolling patients aged ≥65 years with ischemic heart disease in a 3:1 ratio to either an intervention (mHealth-CR) or control (usual care) arm, with a target sample size of 400 participants. mHealth-CR consists of a commercially available mobile health software platform coupled with weekly exercise therapist sessions to review progress and set new activity goals. The primary outcome is a change in functional mobility (6-minute walk distance), which is measured at baseline and 3 months. Secondary outcomes are health status, goal attainment, hospital readmission, and mortality. Among intervention participants, engagement with the mHealth-CR platform will be analyzed to understand the characteristics that determine different patterns of use (eg, persistent high engagement and declining engagement).<br />Results: As of December 2021, the RESILIENT trial had enrolled 116 participants. Enrollment is projected to continue until October 2023. The trial results are expected to be reported in 2024.<br />Conclusions: The RESILIENT trial will generate important evidence about the efficacy of mHealth-CR among older adults in multiple domains and characteristics that determine the sustained use of mHealth-CR. These findings will help design future precision medicine approaches to mobile health implementation in older adults. This knowledge is especially important in light of the COVID-19 pandemic that has shifted much of health care to a remote, internet-based setting.<br />Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03978130; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03978130.<br />International Registered Report Identifier (irrid): DERR1-10.2196/32163.<br /> (©John A Dodson, Antoinette Schoenthaler, Greg Sweeney, Ana Fonceva, Alicia Pierre, Jonathan Whiteson, Barbara George, Kevin Marzo, Wendy Drewes, Elizabeth Rerisi, Reena Mathew, Haneen Aljayyousi, Sarwat I Chaudhry, Alexandra M Hajduk, Thomas M Gill, Deborah Estrin, Lara Kovell, Lee A Jennings, Samrachana Adhikari.
