From hospital to home: a comprehensive platform supporting cardiac rehabilitation post-revascularization.
Article in BMC medical informatics and decision making, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCardiac rehabilitation (CR) post-revascularization faces significant challenges due to accessibility, cost, and patient adherence issues, particularly in center-based settings. Addressing these challenges, the HomeTele-CR platform, encompassing a web portal and mHealth app, was developed to offer a comprehensive, home-based CR solution for patients unable to attend traditional programs.
methodsThis two-phase mixed-methods developmental study aimed to design, develop, and evaluate the HomeTele-CR platform, a home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) system for post-revascularization patients. Phase 1 involved a needs assessment through a Delphi panel with 13 multidisciplinary healthcare professionals (cardiologists, nutritionists, psychologists, physiotherapists, pharmacists, nurses, and sports medicine). Phase 2 utilized Xiaomi Band 2 sensors, Android Studio, and Node.js to develop a patient-facing app (Android) and clinician portal, integrating real-time monitoring, multimedia education (e.g., exercise animations, CPR tutorials), and secure data transmission. Then, in this phase, think-aloud protocols (n = 18 patients) and heuristic evaluation (n = 5 HCI experts) were employed for usability testing.
resultsThe HomeTele-CR platform is designed to facilitate home-based CR through a three-component system: a health wristband for users, a smartphone app, and a remote monitoring and mentoring portal for healthcare providers. The Xiaomi band 2 wristband tracks heart rate and steps, connecting to smartphones for real-time data sharing. The app, developed for Android smartphones, supports patient supervision, exercise guidance, mood and relaxation support, symptom tracking, educational content on heart health and medications, and personalized feedback and monitoring. It features multimedia training materials, health measure tracking, and interactive tools for patient engagement and compliance. The web portal allows nurses to access patient data, provide individualized advice, and monitor patient progress through comprehensive dashboards, enhancing the CR process by integrating patient-reported outcomes and sensor data. Usability evaluations highlighted areas for improvement, guiding enhancements to optimize user experience. In an app usability test, 30 issues were identified, 73% related to layout problems, especially the line chart and swipe feature. For the web portal, the most common issues involved "Privacy," "Help and documentation," and error recovery.
conclusionsThe HomeTele-CR platform represents a significant advancement in providing accessible, efficient, and effective home-based cardiac rehabilitation. By leveraging technology to overcome traditional barriers to CR, the platform promises to improve patient engagement, adherence, and outcomes in post-revascularization care. Future work will focus on expanding the platform's capabilities and evaluating its impact on patient health outcomes.
