Be Active RCT: Gamification & Financial ...

AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY
About this episode

The Be Active trial demonstrates the efficacy of scalable interventions, incorporating remote monitoring and behavioral economics, in boosting physical activity among high-risk cardiovascular patients. Lasting effects were observed even six months post-intervention. While additional data may be warranted for some stakeholders, these interventions hold promise as integral components of exercise-based prevention strategies for cardiovascular disease. 

In this interview, Alexander Fanaroff, MD, MHS and Glenn A. Hirsch MD, MHS, FACC discuss results from the Be Active RCT.
