Cardiac rehabilitation programs are comprehensive life-style programs aimed at preventing recurrence of a cardiac event. However, the current programs have globally significantly low levels of uptake. Home-based model can be a viable alternative to hospital-based programs. We developed and analysed a service and business model for home based cardiac rehabilitation based on personal mentoring using mobile phones and web services. We analysed the different organizational and economical aspects of setting up and running the home based program and propose a potential business model for a sustainable and viable service. The model can be extended to management of other chronic conditions to enable transition from hospital and care centre based treatments to sustainable home-based care.
心脏康复计划是旨在预防心脏事件复发的综合性生活方式计划。然而，目前这些计划在全球范围内的接受程度显著较低。居家模式可能是基于医院的计划的一个可行替代方案。我们开发并分析了一种基于使用手机和网络服务进行个人指导的居家心脏康复服务和商业模式。我们分析了建立和运行居家计划的不同组织和经济方面，并提出了一种可持续且可行服务的潜在商业模式。该模式可扩展到其他慢性病的管理，以实现从基于医院和护理中心的治疗向可持续的居家护理的转变。
