A continuous support program combining a personal health record (PHR) app with counseling services can enhance adherence to outpatient cardiac rehabilitation for patients with ischemic heart disease, addressing low participation rates. Integrating mobile health technologies like PHR apps and wearable devices supports exercise adherence, improves cardiopulmonary function, and promotes healthier lifestyle behaviors, making cardiac rehabilitation more accessible and effective outside clinical settings. This approach offers a practical way to boost rehabilitation engagement and long-term heart health maintenance.
