Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is to determine if it is feasible to using a Telehealth Dance Platform with patients that have an implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator, and will compare the activity engagement, anxiety, and Quality of Life

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: Dance4Healing control group Participants will monitor their heart rate for 8 weeks (pre-intervention period), then engage in weekly live zoom dance sessions on digital Dance4Healing platform for 8 consecutive weeks (intervention period), then may elect to continue with monitoring for an additional 12 weeks (3-month post-intervention period for long-term results). During the intervention period, this group will not have a dance buddy. |
Behavioral: Dance4Healing Telehealth Live Zoom Sessions
Week 1: 2-hour introduction session on Zoom platform with a live dance instructor at the participant's desired level of activity intensity (low, mild, or moderate).
Weeks 2-8: All participants will be asked to participate in a 1 hour online, instructor-led live class.

Behavioral: Dance4Healing Telehealth Live Zoom Sessions
Week 1: 2-hour introduction session on Zoom platform with a live dance instructor at the participant's desired level of activity intensity (low, mild, or moderate).
Weeks 2-8: All participants will be asked to participate in a 1 hour online, instructor-led live class.
Behavioral: Dance Buddy
Following randomization (beginning of intervention period) half of the participants will be assigned a dance "buddy," and will be asked to dance with their buddies using the Dance4Healing TLVP at least 2 additional times/week. This group will have 24/7 access to Dance4Healing Platform during the intervention and post-intervention periods.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Activity in hours/day from ICD interrogation as a measure of activity engagement over time [36 weeks]
- Change in calculated score from Patient Activation as a measure of Patient Activity Engagement over time [Baseline, Week 8(pre-intervention), Week 16 (post-intervention), Week 28 (long term)]
Scores range from 0-100, higher scores represent higher engagement self reported survey
- Total Amount of Time spent accessing the dance platform in minutes as a measure of Activity Engagement during the study intervention [Total time in minutes over the 8 week intervention period]
Total number of minutes that the participant accesses the Dance4Healing platform each week
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in Anxiety Score over time [Baseline, Week 8(pre-intervention), Week 16 (post-intervention), Week 28 (long term)]
Anxiety will be a calculated score from a 10 question self-reported questionnaire (Florida Shock Anxiety Scale) with a scoring range from 0-50, with higher scores indicating more anxiety.
