Intelligent Management Platform for Guiding Exercise Rehabilitation in Coronary Heart Disease Patients
Artificial Intelligence-enhanced Stratified Management Platform Guiding Home-based Exercise Rehabilitation for Coronary Heart Disease Patients: a Randomized Control Trial
China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases
200 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled stratified management platform can help adults with coronary heart disease (CHD) better perform exercise rehabilitation and manage their health after being discharged from the hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does using the AI platform lead to a greater improvement in exercise capacity (measured by peak oxygen consumption, VO2peak) after 3 months? 2. Does the platform help increase daily physical activity, improve exercise adherence and motivation, and better control modifiable cardiovascular risk factors? 3. Is guiding home-based exercise with this platform safe for low-risk CHD patients? Researchers will compare the AI Management Group (using the platform and a sports wristband) to the Routine Management Group (receiving usual care without the platform) to see if the AI group shows more significant improvements in fitness and health metrics. Participants will: 1. Be randomly assigned to either use the AI platform or receive usual post-discharge care. 2. Receive a personalized exercise prescription from a doctor before going home. 3. If in the AI group: Use the smartphone app and wearable device to track health data for comprehensive post-discharge management, and receive reminders and immediate safety alerts. 4. Attend a follow-up visit at 3 months for check-ups and tests, including an exercise test and health assessments. The study hopes to show that this intelligent management platform is an effective and safe tool to help people with CHD recover at home, stay active, and reduce future heart risks.

Interventions
Following discharge, participants in the AI-stratified management group will use an intelligent platform (smartphone app + wearable divice) for home-based exercise rehabilitation and comprehensive post-discharge care. Key features include: 1) Safety Monitoring \& Alerts: Real-time tracking of heart rate and other parameters via wristband triggers immediate safety warnings during exercise; 2) Holistic Risk Management: Integrated support for lifestyle modification, medication adherence, and control of cardiovascular risk factors; 3) Structured Engagement: Multi-channel reminders (messages, alarms, voice calls) for medications, exercise, and follow-ups to sustain adherence.
Usual discharge protocol comprising verbal and printed discharge instructions addressing medication schedules, follow-up timelines, and lifestyle optimization strategies as well as a personalized exercise prescription.
