mHealth Interventions for Exercise and Risk Factor Modification in Cardiovascular Disease

Ralph Maddison et al. Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2019 Apr.

Abstract

Exercise and lifestyle risk factor management are critical for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease but are poorly adhered to. Mobile health interventions could enhance engagement; however, a one-size intervention approach cannot meet the needs of all people. We hypothesize a unifying digital platform that enables choice from a suite of evidence-based programs will enhance access, delivery, and engagement.
