ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on creating and testing an online app designed to help patients follow a Mediterranean lifestyle, which includes healthy eating, physical activity, and social habits. The app aims to support individuals who have experienced heart-related issues, like a heart attack or stroke, by providing personalized recommendations based on their habits. By using this app, participants can track their health over time, engage in discussions with healthcare providers about improving their lifestyle, and ultimately work towards reducing obesity, a major risk factor for further heart problems.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be between 18 and 75 years old and have had a heart-related event. They should also be able to understand and complete questionnaires and have lived in Spain for at least a year. Throughout the study, participants will have their health monitored at different points (3, 6, and 8 months) to see how their lifestyle changes affect their overall well-being. This is an exciting opportunity for individuals looking to improve their health and reduce the risk of future heart issues while contributing to valuable research.
