  • Enhanced SUPport for Initiation and paRticipation in a FOOD is Medicine Program

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The purpose of this research is to see if offering more navigation and text-message support will help increase participation and engagement in a Food is Medicine program. The study will recruit people currently participating in cardiac rehabilitation. People will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 study groups: navigation, text-messaging, both, or neither. People will complete surveys at the start of the study and after 3 months. After 3 months, we will compare how many Food is Medicine meals or groceries people in each group received.

  • Heart Health After Cardiac Treatment Study

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of this study is to determine whether participation in a tailored cardiac rehabilitation program delivered in a safety net setting, compared to usual care referral to an outside cardiac rehabilitation program, results in greater participation in cardiac rehabilitation.

  • KardioPAC Mobile App to Improve Physical Fitness Among Cardiac Rehabilitation Patients

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The purpose of this study is to sustain regular physical activity, improve health-related quality of life, improve resting blood pressure, improve anthropometrics, and improve adherence to prescribed cardiac rehabilitation sessions among individuals referred for cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Numerous studies show that CR improves clinical outcomes in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Exercise as a reliable adjunctive intervention, however, remains limited due to poor short- and long-term adherence. This proposed study will examine the effectiveness of the Kura Care KardioPac digital application plus CR to significantly sustain exercise adherence among CR patients, as compared to standard of care alone.
