SWEATY HEARTS

The SWEATY HEARTS project promotes voluntary activities in sport, together with social inclusion and awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical activity through increased participation in, and equal access to, sport for all in particular for cardiac patients.

The integrated phase is followed by an independent phase where patients are still monitored and encouraged to continue with physical activity. Specific responsibilities of Dekut within the project:
- Providing software support for physical activity tracking of patients
- Preparation of the project Research Report
- Leader of WP4: Integrated approach sessions
- Hosting the kick-off meeting of the project in Budapest in February 2017
