This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a smartphone-based cardiac rehabilitation program for people diagnosed with a condition called INOCA—chest pain or shortness of breath caused by reduced blood flow to the heart, even though the main heart arteries are not blocked. The program includes daily activity tracking, weekly coaching calls, and educational materials delivered through an app, combined with a wearable fitness device like a Fitbit or Apple Watch. Researchers want to see if this mobile-based approach helps patients feel better, improve their symptoms, and increase their physical activity over three months.
Most cardiac rehabilitation programs are offered in clinical settings, which may be hard for some patients to access regularly. This trial exists to find out whether delivering rehabilitation through a smartphone app and wearable devices—combined with phone coaching—can be just as effective and more convenient for people with INOCA, a condition that is often overlooked and undertreated.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either the mobile app rehabilitation program or usual medical care. If you are in the app program, you will use a smartphone app to track your daily activity and heart rate, receive weekly coaching calls from a therapist, access educational materials, and wear a fitness tracking device for three months. Both groups will wear a wearable activity monitor. The study lasts up to one year, with check-ins at three months, six months, and one year to measure changes in your symptoms, fitness level, mood, and quality of life.
