Aim To explore the availability of smart devices, current utilization and proficiency of use among older CR program attendees. Methods Study participants were enrolled from four CR programs in Omaha, Nebraska United States and completed a questionnaire of 28 items. Results Of 376 participants approached, 169 responded (45%). Mean age was 71.1 (SD ± 10) years. Demographics were 73.5% males, 89.7% Caucasians, 52% with college degree and 56.9%, with income of 40K$ or more. Smart device ownership was 84.5%; desktop computer was the most preferred device. Average Internet use was 1.9 h/d (SD ± 1.7); 54.3% of participants indicating for general usage but only 18.4% pursued health-related purposes. Utilization of other health information modalities was low, 29.8% used mobile health applications and 12.5% used wearable devices. Of all participants, 72% reported no barriers to using Internet. Education and income were associated positively with measures of utilization and with less perceived barriers. Conclusion Among an older group of subjects attending CR, most have access to smart devices and do not perceive significant barriers to Internet use. Nonetheless, there was low utilization of health-related resources suggesting a need for targeted education in this patient population.Background Tobacco-related products, containing the highly addictive nicotine together with numerous other harmful toxicants and carcinogens, have been clearly associated with coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, and other heart diseases.
