The primary outcome was dropout, defined as system disengagement. Secondary outcomes included adherence (percentage of prescribed health watch wear time and chatbot responses) and usability. The predictive value of demographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors was examined using logistic regression models. Of 100 patients (mean age 61.6 \u00b1 10.4 years; 88% male; 45% percutaneous coronary intervention, 55% other intervention), there were 43 dropouts; most (27; 63%) occurred in the first quarter, with participation burden being the most cited reason (51%). Health watch adherence was higher than chatbot adherence (80.7% (66.6\u201390.3%) vs. 60.8% (30.7\u201382.7%), P &amp;lt; 0.001). Low chatbot adherence was associated with poorer mental well-being, while lower health watch adherence was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms. System usability was rated acceptably usable (62.2 \u00b1 14.7).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Long-term lifestyle monitoring of multiple health-related behaviours is feasible after cardiac intervention, highlighting its potential for integration into clinical practice. Patient engagement could be enhanced by targeting subgroups at risk of low adherence, particularly in the early phase, and by reducing self-reporting burden while improving usability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjdh\/ztag016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,28]],"date-time":"2026-01-28T12:39:50Z","timestamp":1769603990000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Long-term lifestyle monitoring adherence in patients after cardiac intervention: a prospective observational trial"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4310-6046","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wilhelmina Francisca","family":"Goevaerts","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Design, Eindhoven University of Technology , PO Box 513, 5600 MB, Eindhoven ,","place":["The Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Cardiology, M\u00e1xima Medical Center \u00a0 (Eindhoven\/Veldhoven), PO Box 7777, 5500 MB, Veldhoven ,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9021-9895","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicole Catharina Christina Wilhelmina","family":"Tenb\u00fclt -
