Cardiac Rehabilitees ’ Technology Experiences Before Remote Rehabilitation: Qualitative Study Using a Grounded Theory Approach

Conclusions: The findings show that persons affected by heart disease had different experiences with technology and expectations toward counseling, while all rehabilitees expected technology to be easy to use and their experiences to be smooth and problem-free. The results can be used more widely in different contexts of social and health care for the planning of and training in remote rehabilitation counseling and education.
