Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of hospitalization among older adults in United States. There are substantial racial and geographic disparities HF outcomes, with patients living southern US states having a mortality rate 69% higher than national average. Self-management behaviors, particularly daily weight monitoring physical activity, extremely important improving outcomes; however, typically have low adherence to these behaviors. With rise digital technologies improve health...
