Aims: Urbanization is related to non-communicable diseases such as congestive heart failure (CHF). Understanding the influence of diverse living environments on physiological variables such as heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with chronic cardiac disease may contribute to more effective lifestyle advice and telerehabilitation strategies. This study explores how machine learning (ML) models can predict HRV metrics, which measure autonomic nervous system responses to environmental attributes in uncontrolled real-world settings.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of mHealth solutions in improving user engagement, focusing on social proof and tangible rewards.
- Participants included 143 university staff members who were part of a four-week health promotion campaign, divided into three treatment groups.
- Results indicated that personalized, meaningful extrinsic rewards significantly enhanced participant engagement in the health initiative.
