A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a real-world, multicenter observational cohort study conducted in the Netherlands. It compares patients using home telemonitoring as part of a hybrid care pathway to patients receiving standard care without telemonitoring, across seven hospitals. The program collects daily home measurements and symptoms to trigger early interventions by a Medical Service Center, aiming to improve management in routine clinical practice. The study includes retrospective and prospective components to assess outcomes in typical care settings. Eligible participants are adults with heart failure who can use digital tools and speak Dutch, while those with end-stage disease or unwillingness to participate in remote monitoring are excluded.
