## TL;DR

This study shows that digital health tools improve cardiac rehab outcomes compared to traditional methods.

## Contribution

A four-year retrospective analysis demonstrating digital health's impact on cardiac rehabilitation outcomes.

## Key findings

- Patients using digital tools had higher adherence and better functional gains.
- Digital health reduced hospital readmissions through early detection and timely treatment.
- Digital tools improved risk factor control and expanded access to cardiac care.

## Abstract

Digital health technologies have enhanced cardiac rehabilitation by enabling remote monitoring, personalized feedback and increased
patient engagement. This retrospective study analyzed four years of medical records from patients using digital platforms, wearables and
teleconsultations. Those using digital tools showed higher adherence, better functional gains and improved risk factor control than those
in traditional care. Remote monitoring allowed for earlier detection of clinical changes and timely treatment adjustments, reducing
hospital readmissions. Data highlight digital health's potential to expand access and improve long-term outcomes in cardiac care.
