EXPERT Tool

Exercise prescription in everyday practice & rehabilitation training

Exercise-based rehabilitation is of significant importance to patients with cardiovascular disease or at risk:

• Better CVD risk factor control
• Improved quality of life
• Reductions in hospitalisation frequency
• Cost effectiveness

EXPERT Tool

The EXPERT tool offers digital, interactive decision support tool for exercise prescription. 

This pilot tool is based on the EXPERT Flowchart (EXercise Prescription in Everyday practice & Rehabilitation Training), developed by the University of Hasselt, in collaboration with the European Association of Preventive Cardiology.

This flowchart assists physicians and healthcare professionals in choosing and adopting the optimal exercise intervention in patients with various CVDs and/or a combination of risk factors.

Note: The EXPERT tool should be used with Google Chrome (it is not compatible with Internet Explorer)
