Patient-centered Mobile Health Intervention to Improve Self-care in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Heart Failure

In brief

Approximately 6.5 million people have heart failure (HF) in the United States, and 960,000 new cases are reported each year. HF is one of the most common hospital diagnosis among older adults. About 40% of patients are readmitted within 1-year following their first admission for HF and hospitalization accounts for approximately 80% of the costs of HF management. This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a patient-centered mobile health (mHealth) technology intervention in older adults with chronic heart failure.
