SilverCloud Healthcare is developing an online platform to support self-management of symptoms and promote wellbeing of people with cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is responsible for premature death, impaired quality of life and has disproportionate service usage and costs. Psychological distress in CVD is common and associated with poor outcome. The project will develop an online cognitive, psycho-educational and psycho-therapeutic CVD-specific package to support self-management and promote wellbeing.
