This study examined whether adding an eHealth lifestyle programme (the BENEFIT programme) to standard cardiac rehabilitation (CR) care could help heart disease patients make and maintain healthier lifestyle changes at home. This is important as many patients struggle to form healthy lifestyle habits. The BENEFIT programme was created to help patients during and after CR, by offering an online platform with tools like daily goal tracking, personalised coaching and a reward system to motivate healthy habits. This study followed 885 patients to track their progress over the course of a year.
