Despite strong guideline recommendations, participation in conventional cardiac rehabilitation (CR) remains low due to logistical, socioeconomic, and accessibility barriers. The growing integration of telehealth, mobile health (mHealth), and remote monitoring technologies offers new opportunities to improve post-PCI care delivery, adherence, and outcomes. Objective : This scoping review aimed to map and synthesize existing research on the use of telehealth and remote monitoring interventions for patients following PCI, with a focus on implementation strategies, clinical outcomes, and patient engagement. Methods : Following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review methodology, we conducted a structured search of PubMed and Google Scholar for English-language, peer-reviewed original research articles published between January 2020 and April 2025. Eligible studies involved human patients post-PCI and evaluated telehealth, telemedicine, or remote monitoring interventions. Review articles, protocols, non-English papers, and studies unrelated to PCI or telehealth were excluded. Screening and data extraction were independently performed by multiple reviewers. Results : From 191 initially identified records, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. Interventions included mHealth applications, hybrid CR programs, wearable devices, structured teleconsultations, and remote disease management platforms. Reported outcomes included improvements in CR participation, medication adherence, physical activity, quality of life, and psychological well-being. Several studies demonstrated noninferiority of home-based or hybrid CR to traditional center-based models. Platforms incorporating interactive education, live coaching, or biometric feedback were particularly effective in sustaining patient engagement. However, heterogeneity in study design, short-term follow-up, and limited reporting of hard clinical endpoints remain common limitations. Conclusion : Telehealth and remote monitoring interventions show strong potential to enhance post-PCI care by addressing barriers to traditional rehabilitation and enabling personalized, accessible follow-up. Although findings are promising, future research should focus on long-term outcomes, scalability, and cost-effectiveness to inform broader integration into cardiovascular care models. telehealth cardiac rehabilitation percutaneous coronary intervention Figures Figure 1 Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS) contributing significantly to global health and economic burden. 1 Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a cornerstone treatment for patients with obstructive coronary lesions, offering rapid symptom relief and improved outcomes. However, long-term success relies heavily on comprehensive secondary prevention strategies, including lifestyle modification, medication adherence, and ongoing cardiovascular risk factor management. 2 , 3 Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a guideline-recommended intervention shown to reduce recurrent cardiovascular events, improve functional capacity, and enhance quality of life. 4 Despite its benefits, participation in conventional center-based CR remains suboptimal due to barriers such as travel distance, time constraints, socioeconomic disparities, and limited access in rural areas. 5 , 6 This underutilization has prompted the evolution of alternative models, including home-based and telehealth-supported cardiac rehabilitation (teleCR). The integration of telehealth and mobile health (mHealth) technologies into post-PCI care offers a scalable and patient-centered approach to address these barriers. 7 , 8 Various digital interventions—such as mobile apps, wearable devices, remote coaching, and virtual education—have emerged to support patient engagement, monitor clinical status, and reinforce self-management behavior remotely. 9 Early evidence suggests that these approaches may be as effective as conventional rehabilitation programs in improving clinical outcomes, adherence, and satisfaction. 10 , 11 However, clinical implementations of telehealth in post-PCI patients remain heterogeneous in design, target populations, and reported outcomes. Therefore, a comprehensive mapping of recent studies is warranted to better understand the scope, characteristics, and effectiveness of telehealth and remote monitoring interventions in this population. This scoping review aims to explore and synthesize the current evidence on the use of telehealth and remote monitoring technologies in post-PCI patients, with a particular focus on clinical implementations, outcome measures, and patient engagement strategies. Methods Review of the literature We Conducted a scoping review according to a predefined protocol based on the following five-stage approach developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI): Stage 1, identifying the research question; Stage 2, identifying relevant studies; Stage 3, study selections; Stage 4, charting the data; and Stage 5 collating, summarizing and reporting the results. 12 Eligibility Criteria To guide study inclusion, we followed the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Population–Concept–Context (PCC) framework, adapted to the focus of this scoping review on telehealth and remote monitoring interventions in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Population : We included studies involving human patients of any age who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for any indication, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Both inpatient and outpatient populations were eligible, provided the study focused on the post-procedural period. Concept : Eligible studies implemented telehealth, telemedicine, or remote monitoring interventions as part of post-PCI care. This included, but was not limited to, mobile health (mHealth) applications designed to support self-management; wearable devices used to monitor vital signs or physical activity remotely; virtual coaching sessions or teleconsultations with healthcare providers; home-based or hybrid cardiac rehabilitation programs that combined in-person and digital components; and digital platforms that facilitated patient education, routine follow-up, or medication adherence through remote access. Context : We considered studies conducted in any healthcare or community setting, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, outpatient clinics, or home-based environments. To be eligible, studies had to be original research articles—such as randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, feasibility trials, or implementation studies—published in English between January 2020 and April 2025, reflecting the most recent developments in digital and remote care delivery during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Exclusion Criteria We excluded studies if they met any of the following criteria: Studies that did not involve patients who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Interventions that did not include any telehealth, telemedicine, or remote monitoring component. Studies focusing solely on in-hospital monitoring without a post-discharge or follow-up element. Studies evaluating digital tools unrelated to structured follow-up or cardiac rehabilitation. Editorials, commentaries, letters to the editor, or protocols without reported outcome data. Conference abstracts without access to full-text articles. Non-English language publications. Studies involving other cardiac procedures (e.g., coronary artery bypass grafting, valve interventions) without a specific focus on post-PCI care. Data Extraction and Synthesis A structured literature search was conducted across PubMed and Google Scholar to identify relevant peer-reviewed studies published between January 2020 and April 2025. The search strategy combined Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and keyword-based terms using Boolean operators to capture studies investigating the use of telehealth, telemedicine, or remote monitoring interventions in post-percutaneous coronary intervention (post-PCI) patients. Google Scholar was searched using aligned combinations of free-text keywords, and results were manually screened. Only English-language, full-text original research articles were considered. All identified citations were imported into Mendeley for organization and duplicate removal. Two reviewers independently screened the titles and abstracts. Full texts of potentially eligible studies were reviewed in detail, and any disagreements regarding inclusion were resolved through discussion. A third reviewer provided methodological oversight. Results Summary of publications Our initial search across PubMed and Google Scholar identified a total of 191 articles published between January 2020 and April 2025. Of these, 18 articles were excluded for being review articles, 97 were excluded for not focusing on patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and 5 were excluded for not being published in English. The remaining 71 articles were assessed in full text, of which 59 were excluded for not incorporating any telehealth, telemedicine, or remote monitoring component. Ultimately, 12 studies met all inclusion criteria and were included in the final scoping review. Findings from Included Studies: Telehealth and Remote Monitoring in Post-PCI Patients The 12 studies included in this scoping review demonstrated a variety of telehealth, mobile health (mHealth), and remote monitoring interventions aimed at improving outcomes in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Interventions were delivered through smartphone applications, wearable devices, web-based platforms, and hybrid telerehabilitation programs, targeting domains such as cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation, physical activity promotion, medication adherence, and psychological support. Several studies focused on mobile applications with live coaching or educational content. Yamashita et al. evaluated a smartphone-based application integrated with live health coaching and found improvements in medication adherence and quality of life compared to standard care. 2 Similarly, Cruz-Cobo et al. tested the eMOTIVA app, which featured gamified education modules and self-monitoring tools, and reported superior adherence to dietary and lifestyle recommendations as well as higher satisfaction and usability scores. 9 Hybrid or home-based cardiac rehabilitation was another common theme. Mattioli et al. compared hybrid CR (center-based plus synchronous telerehabilitation) with standard CR, demonstrating noninferior outcomes in exercise capacity, strength, and functional measures. 4 Pini's thesis at the University of Bern further confirmed that teleCR was as effective as traditional CR in improving cardiovascular risk factors such as LDL cholesterol and exercise tolerance, and was especially preferred by younger, tech-literate patients. 11 Wearable technologies were used to remotely monitor physical activity, blood pressure, and heart rate. Sato et al. implemented an intervention using accelerometer-equipped wearables and found that online feedback significantly influenced self-care behavior and renal function preservation in ACS patients post-PCI. 13 Similarly, Lindman et al. reported the feasibility and safety of exercise-based cardiac telerehabilitation supported by remote exercise tracking in a multicenter real-world setting. 10 Communication-based platforms such as WeChat were also used for remote care coordination. Li et al. demonstrated that structured health management through WeChat significantly improved quality of life and blood pressure control among post-PCI patients. 8 Meanwhile, the hospital-community-family “trinity” rehabilitation model studied by Wang et al. integrated digital follow-up, local clinic support, and family involvement, improving both cardiac function and rehabilitation adherence. 3 Studies assessing remote monitoring systems also emphasized emotional well-being and patient empowerment. Zhang et al. found that internet-based telerehabilitation led to higher compliance rates, better left ventricular function, and improved depression and anxiety scores compared to conventional care. 7 Additionally, Chen et al. applied a chronic disease intelligent information platform and found it enhanced self-care behaviors and health literacy. 14 Collectively, these studies show that telehealth and remote monitoring approaches are diverse in design but generally effective in improving clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial outcomes following PCI. They also highlight the potential of digital tools to address long-standing barriers to cardiac rehabilitation such as geographic distance, resource limitations, and patient disengagement. Discussion This scoping review demonstrates the growing potential of telehealth, mobile health (mHealth), and remote monitoring interventions to enhance recovery and secondary prevention in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The 12 included studies suggest that digitally enabled strategies—ranging from smartphone applications to wearable-assisted home-based rehabilitation—can improve clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial outcomes by extending care beyond hospital settings and overcoming traditional barriers to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) participation. One of the most prominent trends is the use of mHealth applications to support patient self-management. The eMOTIVA app, for instance, combined structured education with gamification and showed improvements in dietary adherence, physical activity, and cardiovascular risk factor knowledge compared to standard care. 9 Similarly, Yamashita et al. found that a smartphone-based intervention with live coaching improved medication adherence and overall quality of life. 2 These findings underscore the importance of real-time feedback and interactive features in sustaining patient engagement. Studies exploring hybrid and home-based CR models further reinforce the feasibility and effectiveness of remote rehabilitation delivery. A randomized trial by Mattioli et al. showed that hybrid CR combining center-based and telerehabilitation sessions produced outcomes comparable to traditional CR in terms of exercise capacity and strength. 4 Pini's thesis added that teleCR participants showed significant improvements in cardiovascular risk markers and favored the flexible, home-based format, especially among younger patients. 11 Wearable technologies also featured prominently across studies. Sato et al. used accelerometer-equipped wearables integrated with online coaching to help preserve renal function and promote physical activity in ACS patients post-PCI. 13 The SWEDEHEART study demonstrated the safety and acceptability of remotely supervised exercise training using wearable monitoring, confirming the value of digital tools in supporting unsupervised rehabilitation. 10 Communication platforms, especially those adapted to local contexts, proved useful in bridging gaps in access and follow-up. A structured WeChat-based intervention significantly improved health-related quality of life and blood pressure control, emphasizing the utility of culturally familiar technology. 8 In another model, the hospital–community–family “trinity” program improved both cardiac function and CR participation by coordinating care across settings with digital support. 3 Beyond physical recovery, several interventions positively impacted psychosocial outcomes. Zhang et al. reported reductions in anxiety and depression along with improved left ventricular function among patients receiving internet-based telerehabilitation. 7 Similarly, Chen et al. found that an intelligent chronic disease management platform enhanced self-care confidence and health literacy 14 , pointing to the added value of telehealth in empowering patients. Despite promising results, the included studies varied in design, population, and outcome measures. Most focused on short-term follow-up, and there is limited data on long-term adherence, cardiovascular event reduction, or cost-effectiveness. Additionally, many studies were single-center or pilot in nature, limiting generalizability. Future research should focus on larger, multicenter trials with standardized outcome reporting and inclusion of hard clinical endpoints to further evaluate the scalability and long-term impact of these interventions.

(2023) Chronic disease platform Digital disease management Self-care behavior Web-based platform Improved self-care literacy Study Limitation This scoping review has several limitations that should be acknowledged. First, although a structured and comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed and Google Scholar, the inclusion was limited to English-language articles, which may have introduced language bias and excluded relevant studies published in other languages. Second, the heterogeneity of study designs, interventions, outcome measures, and populations limited our ability to perform comparative analysis or meta-synthesis. The included studies varied widely in terms of intervention type (e.g., mHealth apps, wearables, hybrid CR models), follow-up duration, and reported outcomes, making it difficult to generalize findings across settings. Third, many of the included studies were small-scale, single-center trials or feasibility studies with short-term follow-up. Longitudinal outcomes, such as sustained behavior change, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and cost-effectiveness, were seldom addressed. This limits the ability to draw conclusions about the long-term clinical impact and scalability of these interventions. Last, although patient-reported outcomes such as satisfaction, engagement, and quality of life were commonly reported, few studies used standardized instruments or blinded assessments, which may affect the reliability of those results.. Conclusion This scoping review highlights the expanding role of telehealth, mobile health applications, wearable devices, and hybrid rehabilitation models in the post-PCI setting. The 12 included studies demonstrate that such interventions can enhance cardiac rehabilitation participation, improve medication adherence, promote self-care, and positively impact both physical and psychological outcomes. These digital approaches show promise in overcoming longstanding barriers to secondary prevention, including geographical constraints, limited access to facilities, and patient disengagement. While the evidence supports their short-term feasibility and effectiveness, further research is needed to establish long-term clinical impact, cost-effectiveness, and integration into routine care. As healthcare systems increasingly adopt digital tools, telehealth has the potential to become a cornerstone of personalized, accessible, and sustainable cardiovascular care for PCI patients.

First, although a structured and comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed and Google Scholar, the inclusion was limited to English-language articles, which may have introduced language bias and excluded relevant studies published in other languages. Second, the heterogeneity of study designs, interventions, outcome measures, and populations limited our ability to perform comparative analysis or meta-synthesis. The included studies varied widely in terms of intervention type (e.g., mHealth apps, wearables, hybrid CR models), follow-up duration, and reported outcomes, making it difficult to generalize findings across settings.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThird, many of the included studies were small-scale, single-center trials or feasibility studies with short-term follow-up. Longitudinal outcomes, such as sustained behavior change, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and cost-effectiveness, were seldom addressed. This limits the ability to draw conclusions about the long-term clinical impact and scalability of these interventions. Last, although patient-reported outcomes such as satisfaction, engagement, and quality of life were commonly reported, few studies used standardized instruments or blinded assessments, which may affect the reliability of those results..\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eThis scoping review highlights the expanding role of telehealth, mobile health applications, wearable devices, and hybrid rehabilitation models in the post-PCI setting. The 12 included studies demonstrate that such interventions can enhance cardiac rehabilitation participation, improve medication adherence, promote self-care, and positively impact both physical and psychological outcomes. These digital approaches show promise in overcoming longstanding barriers to secondary prevention, including geographical constraints, limited access to facilities, and patient disengagement. While the evidence supports their short-term feasibility and effectiveness, further research is needed to establish long-term clinical impact, cost-effectiveness, and integration into routine care. As healthcare systems increasingly adopt digital tools, telehealth has the potential to become a cornerstone of personalized, accessible, and sustainable cardiovascular care for PCI patients.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Abbreviations","content":"\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eACS \u0026ndash; Acute Coronary Syndrome\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eBP \u0026ndash; Blood Pressure\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCAD \u0026ndash; Coronary Artery Disease\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCCS \u0026ndash; Chronic Coronary Syndrome\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCR \u0026ndash; Cardiac Rehabilitation\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCVD \u0026ndash; Cardiovascular Disease\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eeGFR \u0026ndash; Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eJBI \u0026ndash; Joanna Briggs Institute\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eLDL \u0026ndash; Low-Density Lipoprotein\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eLV \u0026ndash; Left Ventricle / Left Ventricular\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eLVEF \u0026ndash; Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003emHealth \u0026ndash; Mobile Health\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMACE \u0026ndash; Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePCI \u0026ndash; Percutaneous Coronary Intervention\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eQoL \u0026ndash; Quality of Life\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eTeleCR \u0026ndash; Telehealth-supported Cardiac Rehabilitation\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eHuman Ethics and Consent to Participate\u003c/b\u003e \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot applicable.

Despite strong guideline recommendations, participation in conventional cardiac rehabilitation (CR) remains low due to logistical, socioeconomic, and accessibility barriers. The growing integration of telehealth, mobile health (mHealth), and remote monitoring technologies offers new opportunities to improve post-PCI care delivery, adherence, and outcomes.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObjective\u003c/strong\u003e: This scoping review aimed to map and synthesize existing research on the use of telehealth and remote monitoring interventions for patients following PCI, with a focus on implementation strategies, clinical outcomes, and patient engagement.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethods\u003c/strong\u003e: Following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review methodology, we conducted a structured search of PubMed and Google Scholar for English-language, peer-reviewed original research articles published between January 2020 and April 2025. Eligible studies involved human patients post-PCI and evaluated telehealth, telemedicine, or remote monitoring interventions. Review articles, protocols, non-English papers, and studies unrelated to PCI or telehealth were excluded. Screening and data extraction were independently performed by multiple reviewers.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResults\u003c/strong\u003e: From 191 initially identified records, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. Interventions included mHealth applications, hybrid CR programs, wearable devices, structured teleconsultations, and remote disease management platforms. Reported outcomes included improvements in CR participation, medication adherence, physical activity, quality of life, and psychological well-being. Several studies demonstrated noninferiority of home-based or hybrid CR to traditional center-based models. Platforms incorporating interactive education, live coaching, or biometric feedback were particularly effective in sustaining patient engagement. However, heterogeneity in study design, short-term follow-up, and limited reporting of hard clinical endpoints remain common limitations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion\u003c/strong\u003e: Telehealth and remote monitoring interventions show strong potential to enhance post-PCI care by addressing barriers to traditional rehabilitation and enabling personalized, accessible follow-up. Although findings are promising, future research should focus on long-term outcomes, scalability, and cost-effectiveness to inform broader integration into cardiovascular care models.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"From Cath Lab to Cloud: A Scoping Review on Telehealth and Remote Monitoring in Post-PCI Patient","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-06-04 12:22:18","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6768890/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
