AortaFIT: Aortopathy Patient Engagement Study

AortaFIT: دراسة مشاركة مرضى اعتلال الأبهر

Overview

AortaFIT is a research initiative aimed at improving outcomes for patients with thoracic aortic diseases through a combination of lifestyle interventions, rehabilitation, and long-term patient engagement. This project focuses on empowering patients to take an active role in their health, promoting physical and mental well-being post-aortic surgery.

Objectives

Rehabilitation & Recovery

To establish structured rehabilitation protocols that optimize recovery after aortic surgery.

Patient Empowerment

To encourage active patient participation in their health management through lifestyle modifications and education.

Long-term Health Tracking

To monitor patients’ health over time using both physical and mental health metrics, identifying areas for ongoing support and improvement.

Methodology

Comprehensive Data Collection: Participants' health data (exercise capacity, heart rate, blood pressure, etc.) will be collected via questionnaires and wearable technology to track progress.

Personalized Rehabilitation Plans: Development of tailored recovery plans based on individual patient needs, promoting safe physical activity and improving cardiovascular health.

Digital Tools: Participants will use the TRAIN Health Awareness app to receive lifestyle guidance, track their progress, and stay engaged in their recovery.

Progress and Findings

Rehabilitation Programs: Initial programs show positive feedback with patients experiencing improved physical fitness and mental well-being.

Patient Feedback: Participants have reported feeling more empowered in managing their health and more informed about safe physical activity after surgery.

Future Directions

Clinical Trials

Expand the study to include more patients and test the effectiveness of digital health interventions on long-term recovery.

International Collaboration

Partner with global aortic surgery centers to enhance the scope and diversity of the patient data collected.

Education Resources

Develop a range of educational materials and support tools to help patients manage their long-term recovery and health.
