Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) has introduced a novel program where patients recovering from heart ailments will be prescribed e-bikes to improve cardiovascular health.
The initiative, launched in Bristol and Manchester, aims to boost physical activity without overexerting recovering patients. Medical experts say pedal-assisted e-bikes offer a balance of exercise and mobility, reducing sedentary lifestyles.
Public health departments in Nepal and Sri Lanka—also battling rising heart disease rates—are studying the program for possible adaptation in urban wellness policies.
