Using a Connected Application to Maintain Physical Activity After Cardiac Rehabilitation

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Maintaining physical activity after cardiac rehabilitation has a major role in disease progression and patient prognosis. 6 months after the cardiac rehabilitation, we find during a nursing interview that many patients do not maintain regular physical activity. 1 year after cardiac rehabilitation, between 30% and 60% of patients do not maintain the recommendations in terms of physical activity. It is recommended to perform studies evaluating the effectiveness of new technologies in the fight against non-compliance recommendations for physical activity. That is why, study the interest of using an application connected post-cardiac rehabilitation seems necessary to fight against dropouts in terms of physical activity.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The objective is to study compliance with the recommendations, assessed by accelerometer at 6 months post-cardiac rehabilitation within two groups : classic care versus using a connected application.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| To demonstrate an increase in the percentage of patients respecting at 6 months post-cardiac rehabilitation the recommendations in terms of physical activity | accelerometer | at 6 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| to study within each group the evolution of the level of physical activity between the end of the cardiac rehabilitation. | questionnaires IPAQ | at 6 months | 
| to study within each group the evolution of the motivation to physical activity between the end of the cardiac rehabilitation. | questionnaire EMAPS | at 6 months | 
| to study the difference in the level of physical activity at 6 months post-cardiac rehabilitation between the two groups | questionnaires IPAQ | at 6 months | 
| to study the difference in the motivation to physical activity at 6 months post-cardiac rehabilitation between the two groups | questionnaire EMAPS | at 6 months | 
| to describe the maintenance of the physical activity of the two groups according to the seasonality following the end of the cardiac rehabilitation (winter, spring, summer, autumn). | accelerometer | at 6 months | 
| to describe the use of the application in the intervention group | number of recorded sessions | at 6 months | 
| to describe patient satisfaction in the intervention group | scale 0-10 (min 0 - max 10) | at 6 months | 
| to describe the frequency of use of patients in the intervention group to be recorded their sessions | scale 0-4 (min 0 - max 4) | at 6 months | 
| to describe the interactions with other users in the intervention group | scale 0-4 (min 0 -max 4) | at 6 months | 
| to describe participation in challenges in the intervention group | scale 0-3 (min 0 - max 3) | at 6 months | 
| to describe the continued use of the application in the intervention group | number of recorded sessions | at 12 months |
