In cardiology, patient care is already moving from the hospital to the patients\u2019 homes, with large trials showing positive results in the field of telemonitoring via cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure via implantable devices, telemonitoring via home-based non-invasive sensors, and screening for atrial fibrillation via smartphone and smartwatch technology. Cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention are modalities that could greatly benefit from digital health integration, as current compliance and cardiac rehabilitation participation rates are low and optimisation is urgently required. This viewpoint offers a perspective on current use of digital health technologies in cardiac rehabilitation, heart failure and secondary prevention. Important barriers which need to be addressed for implementation in medical practice are discussed. To conclude, a future ideal digital tool and integrated healthcare system are envisioned. To overcome personal, technological, and legal barriers, technological development should happen in dialog with patients and caregivers. Aided by digital technology, a future could be realised in which we are able to offer high-quality, affordable, personalised healthcare in a patient-centred way.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21010012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,22]],"date-time":"2020-12-22T20:39:29Z","timestamp":1608669569000},"page":"12","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Digital Health in Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention: A Search for the Ideal Tool"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7407-115X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maarten","family":"Falter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Heart Centre Hasselt, Jessa Hospital, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium"},{"name":"Mobile Health Unit, Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, Hasselt University, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium"},{"name":"KU Leuven, Faculty of Medicine, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"}]},{"given":"Martijn","family":"Scherrenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heart Centre Hasselt, Jessa Hospital, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium"},{"name":"Mobile Health Unit, Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, Hasselt University, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Dendale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heart Centre Hasselt, Jessa Hospital, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium"},{"name":"Mobile Health Unit, Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, Hasselt University, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehv416","article-title":"e-Health: A position statement of the European Society of Cardiology","volume":"37","author":"Cowie","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eur.
