Pilot results for an AI-enabled virtual cardiac rehabilitation program, published in the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention

DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

Results from a pilot of Kento’s AI-enabled virtual cardiac rehabilitation program at Henry Ford Health were published in the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention, in the CACPR 2025 Spring Conference Abstracts (2025;45:E26–E34).

The single-center, non-randomized prospective pilot enrolled 25 patients from the Henry Ford Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in Detroit (mean age 69, 50% women, 71% Black). Patients had recently completed outpatient phase II cardiac rehabilitation, or had been discharged early for non-health reasons such as cost or transportation. They used Kento for synchronous coaching, remote physiologic monitoring and AI-driven personalized education.

All but one patient completed the program. Patients attended 94% of scheduled virtual coach appointments (271 of 288), and 89% used the platform at least once a day. The Net Promoter Score was 98% at 4 weeks and 96% at 12 weeks.

96% of patients said a program like Kento can be beneficial for people living with heart disease, and 98% said the virtual clinical team was easy to communicate with.

The authors concluded that the platform appears feasible and acceptable. Patients highlighted the importance of the human connection alongside the technology.
