Here is an excerpt from an article that mentions our Cardiac Rehab platform and how it is widening access to people who may not usually have access to a cardiac rehab programme. Read the full article here.

“Early findings from two of the seven home-based digital cardiac rehabilitation platforms now in National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE’s) evidence-generation programme suggest they are reaching patients who would not otherwise have accessed cardiac rehabilitation — and reducing hospital readmissions in high-risk patients.

Cardiac rehabilitation delivered through approved home-based digital platforms could help address longstanding inequalities in access to care for people with heart failure, according to Rajiv Sankaranarayanan, consultant cardiologist at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Liverpool, who discussed NICE’s early value assessment (EVA) guidance.

He reflected that digital rehabilitation programmes have the potential to expand access and enhance conventional services without replacing them. “We reach for pills far too easily compared with exercise, and that should not be the case,” Sankaranarayanan pointed out. “Cardiac rehabilitation should never be an afterthought. It should sit alongside medications and device therapies as part of comprehensive heart failure care. It’s not a substitute, but offers an extra option to our patients,” Sankaranarayanan said.”
