The Effectivity of the Mobile App "HARKIT I-Care" in Secondary Prevention in Post-ACS Patients

HARKIT I-Care is a mobile application developed by the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita (NCCHK) to leverage patients in achieving their targets for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The application contains various features, including exercise tracking and reminder, medication reminder, and updated educational content on cardiovascular health. Additionally, patients can log and record their blood pressure, heart rate, smoking behavior, Quality of Life, and laboratory parameters such as blood sugar and cholesterol. Our research aims to investigate whether implementing this app in post-acute coronary syndrome patients could improve their survival rate, hospitalization rate, medication adherence, and Quality of Life, along with improving their laboratory parameters to be within desirable targets.
