Heart Health Coach: Personalized AI Companion for Cardiovascular Wellness and Recovery

Learn how REAN Foundation and CCPR, Kenya are working together to enhance patient heart health through personalized education and support
Out of the 17 million premature deaths due to noncommunicable diseases in 2019, 38% were caused by CVDs.
Cardiac rehabilitation can reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity by up to 20% and is recommended by the AHA and the American College of Cardiology (ACC).

Overview

In Kenya, the burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is increasing, particularly among the productive population, due to factors such as urbanization, aging, and unhealthy lifestyle choices. To combat this, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has become an essential component of care for patients with cardiovascular conditions. CR programs focus on educating patients, promoting physical exercise, and encouraging lifestyle modifications to optimize their physical, social, psychological, and vocational well-being.

The Solution

REAN Foundation, in collaboration with the Centre for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation in Kenya, has developed the Heart Health Coach. This powerful, WhatsApp-based AI tool, powered by REAN HealthGuru, is designed to assist patients in their cardiac rehabilitation journey by offering personalized education and support.

Heart Health Coach helps patients understand their heart condition, medication, and treatment options, while providing personalized advice on nutrition and exercise. It tracks medication adherence, monitors progress, sends appointment reminders, and answers patient queries, ensuring effective heart health management.

Healthcare professionals benefit from periodic updates on patient progress, enabling them to monitor risk factor management and medication adherence. This tool ensures that patients receive consistent support and guidance, enhancing the quality of care provided.
