One reason for this is the geographical distance between patients\u2019 homes and hospitals. To address this issue, we developed an integrated telerehabilitation platform, RH-01, for home-based CR. We hypothesised that using the RH-01 platform for home-based CR would demonstrate non-inferiority compared with traditional centre-based CR.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title><jats:p>The E-REHAB trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RH-01 for home-based CR compared with traditional centre-based CR for patients with HF. This clinical trial will be conducted under a prospective, randomised, controlled and non-inferiority design with a primary focus on HF patients. Further, to assess the generalisability of the results in HF to other cardiovascular disease (CVD), the study will also include patients with other CVDs. The trial will enrol 108 patients with HF and 20 patients with other CVD. Eligible HF patients will be randomly assigned to either traditional centre-based CR or home-based CR in a 1:1 fashion. Patients with other CVDs will not be randomised, as safety assessment will be the primary focus. The intervention group will receive a 12-week programme conducted two or three times per week consisting of a remotely supervised home-based CR programme using RH-01, while the control group will receive a traditional centre-based CR programme. The primary endpoint of this trial is change in 6\u2009min walk distance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title><jats:p>The conduct of the study has been approved by an institutional review board at each participating site, and all patients will provide written informed consent before entry.
