Brief summary
The purpose of this 90 day study is to demonstrate the extent to which participants with cardiovascular conditions can improve their recovery at home through a mobile app, support and resources made available to them after hospitalization. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of personal care intervention support, including one-on-one guidance, educational information, check-ins, and Laguna's mobile app to help participants recover better after hospitalization.
