Brief Summary

The pilot study will investigate the usability of a mobile cycling application in a cardiac patient population during a one month study period. The application's effectiveness regarding ability to reduce fear and increase motivation to exercise will be assessed.

Conditions

Coronary Artery Disease

Keywords

Human-computer interaction; Fear; Motivation; Usability

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Impact on motivation

  up to week 4

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Usability of the cycling application

  Up to week 4

• Impact on fear

  up to week 4

Study Arms (1)

Bike application arm

The bike application arm contains cardiac patients that will be instructed to use the cycling application during a one month period.

Behavioral: Bike application arm

Interventions

Bike application arm BEHAVIORAL

The intervention patients will use the cycling application on a smartphone, in combination with a wrist-worn heart rate monitor. During the study, the patients will use the cycling application for one month, in which they can make use of the cycling application each time they are cycling outdoor in their home environment.
