Cardiac rehabilitation programs are traditionally carried out in hospitals and health centers under the direct personal supervision of mentoring clinicians. Patient barriers, such as time constraints and distance from treatment centers, have lead to poor uptake of programs among eligible patients. To overcome these barriers, home-based care models have been proposed as a viable alternative to hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation programs. We have developed a measurement system and software tools on a mobile phone platform enabling patients to participate in a home-based cardiac rehabilitation exercise program. A mobile application, TuneWalk, gives guidance to the patients during home exercises using heart rate and physical activity analysis and also stores long-term information about their progress during the weeks of the rehabilitation program. The measured data are also sent to a server for remote exercise performance analysis and consultation by the patient's personal mentor.
传统上，心脏康复项目是在医院和健康中心由指导临床医生直接亲自监督实施的。患者面临的障碍，如时间限制和距离治疗中心较远，导致符合条件的患者对这些项目的参与率较低。为了克服这些障碍，已提出以家庭为基础的护理模式作为基于医院的心脏康复项目的可行替代方案。我们在手机平台上开发了一种测量系统和软件工具，使患者能够参与以家庭为基础的心脏康复锻炼项目。一款名为TuneWalk的移动应用程序，在患者进行家庭锻炼时，利用心率和身体活动分析为他们提供指导，并在康复项目的数周内存储有关其进展的长期信息。测量数据还会发送到服务器，以便患者的个人指导者进行远程运动表现分析和咨询。
