Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
To assess the heart patients' and family members' needs for rehabilitation in the health system
To assess the need for coordination of the rehabilitation effort in the health system
To develop tele-rehabilitation concepts and technologies for heart patients, family members and health professionals in the health sector
To promote an early, rapid and effective rehabilitation of heart patients to improve their daily life and working life.
To prevent re-hospitalization of heart patients through a more individualized and differentiated rehabilitation effort using tele-rehabilitation technologies.
To conduct a randomized study of a tele-rehabilitation concept using tele-rehabilitation technologies and to assess the clinical, technical, organizational and health-economic effects.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Telerehabilitation programme
Telerehabilitation programme: Each patient will use a telehealth monitor and measure blood pressure, pulse and weight once or twice a week over a 3 months periods with the use of a blood pressure monitor and a weightscale connected to the monitor. The patients will also measure their steps daily by the use of a digital step-counter. The patients will be able to see their data in a personal health record on a tablet where they can share informations with healthcare professionals. The patient are also offered access to a portal called www.aktivehjerte.dk where they can find informations on rehabilitations topics in text, video and sound. The patients are randomised in block of different sizes to follow rehabilitation from hospital, healthcare center or a callcenter.
