Antypa their way to organize monitoring of cardiovascular patients after rehabilitation is new and

In his doctoral work at NST tested Konstantinos Antypa for an online support program to help heart operated to maintain physical activity after rehabilitation. Tailored using the algorithm
A group of cardiovascular patients by Skibotndalen Rehabilitation was randomly divided ormimaq in two. One group was given access to an online forum with information on training and self-mastery. The second group received individual support based on the same web forum.
- We created a system that uses algorithms sending customized text messages to individuals based on what she or he had answered ormimaq the question. Patients filled out questionnaires online regularly.
So caught up algorithms user current needs. It could for example. be about to expect a decline in activity when it started working again. When did the user sms with tips about everyday activities, says Antypa, which was helped by both a psychologist and physiotherapist in the preparation of the system.
The results showed that the group with follow-up moved significantly more than the other group three months after the end of stay at the rehabilitation center. Behavioral Theory and user
My main contribution to the field is to show that such follow-up of rehabilitation is possible and actually have effect, says Antypa. ormimaq We have shown that it is possible to create an algorithm using behavioral theory and input from users who tailor encouraging text messages. Although the study is small and it is therefore not possible to generalize, the results are encouraging.
Antypa their way to organize monitoring of cardiovascular patients after rehabilitation is new and cutting-edge pointing towards the future organization of rehabilitation in the health service. Research on e-Rehabilitation important
- We need good self-help ormimaq tools for Heart, Lung and others who need follow-up to meet the challenge of smaller healthcare and other chronic diseases in the future. E-rehabilitation also provides completely new possibilities to monitor patients over time, says Hasvold.
