Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study suggests an innovative approach in supporting the self-management of Cardiovascular Disease patients after rehabilitation. The implied Randomized Controlled Trial has two arms and aims to investigate the effectiveness of tailoring in an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based intervention. The tailoring will be based on concepts derived from health psychology theories, and will contribute in their further development. More specifically:
* Aim 1: To assess the needs of CVD rehabilitation patients that can potentially be met through the use of ICT.
* Aim 2: To assess the effects of a tailored Internet-based intervention on maintenance of self-management behaviors after a rehabilitation stay. Hypothesis: The intervention group (tailored) will have higher adherence a) to the Internet-based intervention, and b) to self-management.
* Aim 3: To assess the effect of mobile technology with activity sensors on physical activity. Hypothesis: There will be a relationship between the data collected from activity sensors and the self-reported physical activity levels.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study suggests a theory-based intervention that combines models of health behaviour in an innovative way, in order to tailor the delivered content. The users have been actively involved in its design, and because of the use of Open-Source software, the intervention can easily and at low-cost be reproduced and expanded by others. Challenges are the recruitment in the elderly population and the possible underrepresentation of women in the study sample
