How does it work?

Cardiac rehabilitation patients are included in the first outpatient clinic visit with a cardiac rehabilitation nurse after their discharge from the hospital. During the rehabilitation process, a team of professionals, including a cardiologist, cardiac coordinator, physiologists, and psychologists, support the patient in adopting healthy habits for their lifestyle, including physical activity, diet, and sleep.

Patients visit the hospital several times to work with a physical therapist and develop a personalized exercise plan. They can remotely monitor their heart rate during exercise at home using the Happitech medical device integrated in the Luscii app and fill out the BORG scale in the app. This provides the physical therapist with insight into the patient's progress.

Using Luscii from the start of the rehabilitation program intensifies support and monitoring during the sessions and extends it after discharge. This contributes to a higher chance of sustainable behavioral change, which is critical for long-term heart health.
