Remote app monitoring for people with chronic heart failure

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

Adults with chronic heart failure are randomized to an experimental arm that downloads and uses a telemonitoring app to enter blood pressure and weight data, or to a control arm without the app. The hospital clinical team reviews submitted data via a platform and both groups complete questionnaires at enrollment, three months, and six months. The trial focuses on non‑pharmacological impacts, explicitly measuring positive effects (co‑creation) and negative effects (co‑destruction) of the telemonitoring service. Outcomes combine patient‑reported measures and process metrics related to remote monitoring and care interaction.
