About
Dr. Isabeau Thijs is a leading researcher in cardiovascular rehabilitation and digital health, with a particular focus on leveraging wearable technology to improve patient outcomes after cardiac surgery. Her work bridges the gap between clinical practice and remote monitoring, exploring how physical activity trackers can objectively assess functional recovery in real-world settings. In her highly cited 2018 prospective cohort study, which has garnered 44 citations, Dr. Thijs demonstrated the feasibility and clinical value of using wearable devices to track patients’ progress during rehabilitation after cardiac surgery. This foundational contribution has helped pave the way for integrating consumer-grade technology into postoperative care protocols, offering clinicians a more nuanced understanding of recovery beyond traditional in-clinic assessments. Her research underscores the potential of digital biomarkers to guide personalized rehabilitation and enhance long-term cardiovascular health. Dr. Thijs continues to advance the field by investigating how real-world activity data can inform clinical decision-making and improve patient engagement in their own recovery journey.
