Problem
Cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs are essential for recovery, yet approximately 90% of eligible patients do not participate due to factors like limited access to facilities, transportation difficulties, and scheduling constraints. This lack of participation can lead to poorer health outcomes and reduced quality of life for patients recovering from cardiopulmonary events or managing chronic respiratory conditions.
Solution
Carda Health delivers virtual cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs to patients in their homes, providing access to evidence-based care through a combination of remote monitoring and personalized exercise plans. Patients receive a home-based care package containing necessary equipment, such as a tablet, heart rate monitor, and blood pressure reader, enabling real-time monitoring by clinical exercise physiologists. These physiologists, overseen by physicians, develop tailored treatment plans, supervise exercise sessions, and adjust regimens based on individual needs and progress. The platform aims to improve patient engagement, adherence, and overall health outcomes by removing barriers to traditional in-person rehabilitation.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals recovering from cardiac events, managing chronic respiratory conditions like COPD, and those who are eligible for but unable to attend traditional cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs.
