Supervised walking training is superior to walking advise to improve the walking distance. Telehealth service with nurse support may close this gap. Patients and methods: This study introduces a telehealth service, \u201cKeep pace!\u201d, which has been developed for patients with symptomatic PAD (Fontaine stage IIa and IIb), enabling a structured home-based walking training while monitoring progress via an app collecting unblinded account of steps and walking distance in self-paced 6-minute-walking-tests by geolocation tracking to enhance intrinsic motivation. Supervision by nurses via telephone calls was provided for 8 weeks, followed by 4 weeks of independent walking training. Patient satisfaction, walking distance and health-related quality of life were assessed. Results: 19 patients completed the study. The analysis revealed an overall high satisfaction with the telehealth service (95.4%), including system quality (95.1%), information quality (94.4%), service quality (95.6%), intention to use (92.8%), general satisfaction with the program (98.4%) and health benefits (95.8%). 78.9% asserted that the telehealth service lacking nurse calls would be less efficacious. Pain-free walking distance (76.3\u00b136.8m to 188.4\u00b181.2m, +112.2%, p&lt;0.001) as well as total distance in 6-minute-walking test (308.8\u00b182.6m to 425.9\u00b1107.1m, +117.2%, p&lt;0.001) improved significantly. The telehealth service significantly reduced discomfort by better pain control (+15.5%, p=0.015) and social participation (+10.5%, p=0.042). Conclusions: In conclusion, patients were highly satisfied with the telehealth service. The physical well-being of the PAD patients improved significantly post vs. prior the telehealth program. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1024\/0301-1526\/a001127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,29]],"date-time":"2024-05-29T08:29:37Z","timestamp":1716971377000},"page":"246-254","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Usability of a telehealth-nurse supported home-based walking training \t\t\t\t\tfor peripheral arterial disease \u2013 The Keep Pace! pilot \t\t\t\t\tstudy"],"prefix":"10.1024","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5053-7996","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Andreas","family":"Prenner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Angiology, Department of Internal \t\t\t\t\tMedicine, Medical University of Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1948-567X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Andreas","family":"Ziegl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"telbiomed Medizintechnik und IT Service GmbH, Graz, \t\t\t\t\t\tAustria"},{"name":"AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Graz, \t\t\t\t\t\tAustria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabian","family":"Wiesm\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Graz, \t\t\t\t\t\tAustria"},{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Digital Health and \t\t\t\t\tPrevention, Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1623-8958","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gihan","family":"El Moazen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Graz, \t\t\t\t\t\tAustria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1822-9033","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dieter","family":"Hayn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Graz, \t\t\t\t\t\tAustria"},{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Digital Health and \t\t\t\t\tPrevention, Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8993-558X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Anna","family":"Prenner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Centre Aflenz, \t\t\t\t\t\tAustria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marianne","family":"Brodmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Angiology, Department of Internal \t\t\t\t\tMedicine, Medical University of Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2577-9984","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gerald","family":"Seinost","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Angiology, Department of Internal \t\t\t\t\tMedicine, Medical University of Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3456-8780","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Robert","family":"Modre-Osprian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"telbiomed Medizintechnik und IT Service GmbH, Graz, \t\t\t\t\t\tAustria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3724-4255","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"G\u00fcnter","family":"Schreier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Graz, \t\t\t\t\t\tAustria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00fcnther","family":"Silbernagel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Angiology, Department of Internal \t\t\t\t\tMedicine, Medical University of Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"101","reference":[{"key":"c1","unstructured":"Griebler R, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWinkler P, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDelcour J, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEisenmann A. \t\t\t\t\t\t(Gesundheit \u00d6sterreich GmbH, BvJH, Wien) D-UKuAK-WMU. \t\t\t\t\t\tHerz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen in \u00d6sterreich Update 2020.
