DCU develops technology for cardiac help in the home

University researchers have created heart technology that can rehabilitate patients in their home. The interactive home exercise programmes are being developed by researchers at Dublin City University (DCU).

Cardio-vascular disease is the leading cause of premature death and disability in the EU and worldwide which costs the EU economy almost €196bn every year.

DCU’s School of Health and Human Performance is leading the €5m European research project which aims to improve the rehabilitation experience of patients recovering from cardio-vascular disease.
