This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After a heart attack or stroke caused by clogged arteries, many people experience another event within months or years. This trial tests whether a 6-month digital support program—combined with an in-hospital pep talk with a nurse—helps people stick to their recovery plan better than standard care alone. The program includes personalized information, videos, and a customized treatment and follow-up plan accessed on a smartphone or tablet.
About half of people hospitalized for heart disease have had a previous heart attack or stroke. Most of these repeat events happen because people struggle to control their risk factors (like high cholesterol and blood pressure) or don't take their medications consistently. This trial aims to find out whether adding digital coaching and support can help people do better at managing their condition after they leave the hospital.

If you join the study group, you'll receive standard discharge advice plus one motivational counseling session with a nurse before leaving the hospital. You'll then have access to a digital platform for 6 months with personalized information, videos, and a treatment plan tailored to you. You'll be asked to attend follow-up appointments at your primary care doctor and, if recommended, at cardiac rehabilitation programs. Both groups will have follow-up visits at 8 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months to check on your health, risk factors, and how well you're managing your condition.
