Comprehensive and personalized approach is a critical area for developing remote cardiac rehabilitation programs

Table 1 Recommendations for future development of digital technology in cardiac rehabilitation

No.	Items	Description
1	Enhance AI and ICT Integration	Continue to embed AI in CR procedures, using wearable sensors for early cardiac event detection, thereby improving home-based CR safety and clinician decision-making
2	Provide real-time feedback	Utilize AI tools to offer real-time feedback and support to patients, aiming to improve CR adherence and patient engagement
3	Develop patient-tailored programs	Use AI to thoroughly analyze data from ICT devices for creating personalized CR programs, enhancing health outcomes and quality of life
4	Address digital literacy gaps	Recognize the challenge of digital literacy and work to make AI-based CR accessible to all patients, reducing health inequalities
5	Ensure data privacy and security	Focus on ethical considerations, including data privacy, security, and the transparency of AI decision-making processes
6	Evaluate cost and safety concerns	Study the financial and safety implications of implementing digital technologies in CR, especially in unsupervised settings
7	Customize interventions for diverse needs	Tailor digital CR interventions to meet the varied needs and preferences of different patient subgroups, such as those with lower socio-economic status or disabilities
8	Maintain the human interaction in digital CR	Address concerns of depersonalization by integrating moral values into digital therapeutic relationships, ensuring compassionate, patient-centered care
