Among these, cardiovascular disease requires more attention due to recurrence with altered physical activity. \u201cSRCardioCare\u201d (Sri Ramachandra Cardio Care) is an integrated mobile software that was developed to engage patients with effective communication and e-media support. We intend to explore the development of mobile software and its perceived impacts among health care professionals.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This study aimed to develop a more economical and feasible platform for cardiac rehabilitation following conservatively managed coronary arterial disease, heart failure, postoperative adult cardiac surgical revascularization, and other cardiac surgeries, and to develop software that facilitates effective communication among participants and health care professionals.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n The software application was developed based on the experts\u2019 interviews. The core components that are included in the software were assessed for their usefulness and applicability among people with cardiac disease using standardized questions. Physicians, nurse practitioners, and physiotherapists\u2019 opinions were obtained. The developed app features providing e-media content for patients and pre- or postphysical activity response, including vitals and feedback from patients at set regular intervals, which were updated to the software.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Opinions obtained from practicing physicians (cardiologists), nurse practitioners, and physiotherapists were hopeful for the development and future implementation of \u201cSRCardioCare\u201d among patients. \u201cSRCardioCare\u201d is designed for the effective implementation of physical activity among patients after conservatively managed coronary arterial disease, heart failure, postoperative adult cardiac surgical revascularization, and other cardiac surgeries. An integrated communication medium and regular postphysical activity feedback of vitals may offer safety in implementing physical activity among the vulnerable in a remote setup.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Remote rehabilitation is an essential and unexplored forum of practice in the field of rehabilitation, yet it requires wearable technology for remote monitoring and virtual reality and mixed reality for enhancing the adherence of the participants. To incorporate the telehealth forum effectively, especially in settings like India, the design must include an economically feasible and convenient model.<\/jats:p>\n
