cord-355062-zrvv4l0p	Saadi, Abdulghani	Access to smart devices and utilization of online health resources among older cardiac rehabilitation participants	2020-05-26		.txt	text/plain	3572	184	46	BACKGROUND: Newer models of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) delivery are promising but depend upon patient participation and ability to use technological media including Internet and smart devices. The purpose of this study was to explore the availability of Internet/smart devices, current utilization patterns, and proficiency in using them for health-related issues in an older cohort of attendees within an urban outpatient CR program. The major findings of our study are: (1) The majority of CR attendees had Internet access and device ownership was high (85% in general, and 47% for smart phone); (2) Despite three quarters of CR attendees reporting no perceived barriers, only 18% used the Internet for DHI; and (3) Consistent with the general population, younger age, college education, and higher income predicted greater use of the Internet and less perceived barriers [9] . In conclusion, our study demonstrates that most older patients attending CR in an urban metropolitan area have access to Internet/smart devices and do not perceive significant barriers to use.	./cache/cord-355062-zrvv4l0p.txt	./txt/cord-355062-zrvv4l0p.txt
