Rehabbing with Peloton: Commercially Available Fitness mHealth for Cardiac Rehabilitation among Individuals Recovering from Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Aim 1: Test the effectiveness of Rehabbing with Peloton on physical activity as measured by daily steps. Aim 2. Examine the effectiveness of Rehabbing with Peloton on secondary health outcomes. Aim 3. Assess the implementation of the Rehabbing with Peloton using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance Framework (RE-AIM).


Why this Research Matters

Rehabbing with Peloton (RWP) is an 8-week intervention beginning immediately upon referral to cardiac rehabilitation (CR), designed to be initiated while patients are placed on CR waitlists. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) recipients engage with Peloton walking, strength, and stretching workouts (not the fitness bike) via a mobile platform to promote physical activity. The RWP platform provides comprehensive CR content and smartwatch integration with a clinically reviewed, pre-set, tailored, and socially engaged set of modules focusing on walking, strength exercises, yoga breathwork, and stretching, areas of exercise previously used in home-based CR but not in mobile asynchronous format.
