The traditional cardiac rehabilitation, conducted at the time of the project's start back in 2017, involved all appointments being conducted physically in clinics. Patients had to either stay in hospitals or commute to them for rehabilitation sessions.
Consequently, the primary goal of the product's MVP phase was to conduct tests of the program on patients to demonstrate the effectiveness of remote rehabilitation compared to traditional solutions.
From the patients' perspective, the opportunity to undergo such rehabilitation remotely:
- improves quality of life,
- eliminates difficulties associated with transportation to medical centers,
- reduces out-of-pocket cost,
- lowers risk of complications, hospitalization, and death
