Cardiac Rehabilitation
Dr. Beckie's NINR funded study provided a cutting-edge, individualized approach to cardiac rehabilitation for women. In a randomized clinical trial, the motivationally-tailored, gender-specific program resulted in reduced depressive symptoms and improved quality of life in women completing her innovative program compared to women attending traditional cardiac rehabilitation.
She also examined the interactions between environmental exposures and genetic risk factors in women with heart disease.
She is particularly interested in heart disease in young women. Dr. Beckie is translating her face-to-face cardiac rehabilitation program for women to a mobile platform using wearable sensors and a smart phone. The program, HerBeat, could revolutionize the delivery of behavior change interventions for women.
