My Carda mentor, Emily, is always personable and genuinely interested in my well being. She’s a great listener, and adjusts my rehab workout to match how I’m doing on a particular day. The “gear” Carda sent me to use at home includes an Apple iPad, a Polar brand heart monitor, a digital blood pressure reader, and a ring which measures heart rate and blood oxygen content. To be able to access this kind of help from home instead of having to travel to another location is incredible. I’m happy to recommend Carda Health.

I liked that I could do this from home. They offered equipment to monitor my heart rate, blood pressure and oxygenation level. Exercise sessions were carefully chosen to match where I was at in my recovery. I was free to say if it was too easy or too hard. Worked on more than just the heart. Breathing, balance, memory, stretching with a wide variety of exercises. I was able to finish all 36 sessions. I went from breathing at half the target rate to breathing with full target rate on the spirometer.

At first I was very hesitant about doing this from an iPad, but decided to try it. I started off with Carda Health, paid by Humana for 3 months. I love the fact that I am doing this from my home on an iPad and working out with exercises that are literally targeting my health issues. In addition, a live person is checking on me to make certain all is going well with me and the exercises. The exercises have also helped me lose weight, besides strengthening my muscles.
