Remote Monitoring of Heart Failure Patients (REMOTE-HF-1) Study - to Assess Utility of a Mobile Device for Improved Management of At-risk Patients


This is planned as a feasibility study. The objective is to evaluate a specially designed
patient adherence and monitoring software on standard mobile devices in remote monitoring of
heart failure patients.


Heart failure is a common cardiovascular problem which is increasing in both prevalence and
incidence and associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The management of heart
failure patients is complex and has become a priority world over. Effective methods to keep
heart failure patients out of the hospital are essential, both in the interests of the
patient's health, as well as to reduce the burden on the health care system.

Heart failure patients should be in a position to provide readings of their weight, blood
pressure, fluid intake, medications and other important parameters and communicate this data
to care providers using wireless technology. This data should be made available to medical
personnel regularly and on a periodic basis. In this manner the health care providers can
detect and respond to warning signs or alerts before the patient's condition worsens to
warrant a visit to the doctor or a hospital admission with features of heart failure
decompensation.
