Abstract

The CAPSYS system enables automated lifestyle coaching for CVD patients through a phone-based interface with the aim of establishing a healthy behavior by reducing specific risk factors. This paper presents the procedure of a randomized controlled trial currently performed to evaluate the CAPSYS prevention approach in terms of efficacy and usability.
