Assessing Feasibility, Efficacy, and Acceptability of Visual Feedback During HR Monitoring in Rehabilitation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Heart Rate Recording from Multiple Participants, No Visual Feedback and Visual Feedback of Multiple Participant Heart Rates for Exercise Therapy and Heart Rate Determination. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Monitoring heart rate during exercise can provide feedback to the patient and provider that the patient is exercising in the appropriate, individualized and safe range for them. This is particularly important in a group setting when multiple individuals are supervised by one provider. This study is interested in assessing the difference in intensity of care delivered when visual feedback of heart rate is provided compared to no visual feedback of heart rate in rehabilitation. Visual feedback of heart rate will be provided through Heart Zones, a platform which synthesizes multiple signals from externally worn heart rate monitors. This study is interested in better understanding the acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness of this technology when used in rehabilitation.

Timeline
Interventions
Heart rates are recorded from multiple participants during the group sessions. However during this intervention, it will not be cast to a TV for feedback to the participant or clinician.
Visual feedback of HR is provided through a TV monitor. Multiple heart rates can be displayed and recorded simultaneously allowing for group encouragement, continuous monitoring and adjustment of all participants to ensure reaching appropriate target intensity.
