<title>Abstract</title> Digital health solutions are increasingly used in heart failure (HF) management to optimize resources. However, their full effectiveness remains unclear. The objective of this study was assess if by enhancing remote patient follow-up, optimizing guideline directed medical treatment (GDMT), and positively influencing behavior, digital could lead a significant reduction overall care consumption. In 12-week randomized controlled trial, mobile app-based monitoring,...
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is rapidly gaining popularity for the management of heart failure (HF) patients. We present a case involving 63-year-old male with ischemic cardiomyopathy, in which an RPM application on mobile phone successfully identified slow ventricular tachycardia (VT). Patient's implanted defibrillator failed to detect VT event due rate falling below its detection threshold. The rapid by system triggered immediate response from HF team. This underlines multiple roles...
Heart failure is associated with high rates of hospitalization, which are more prevalent in frail patients, impacting the quality life and clinical outcomes. Telemedicine considered cost-effective for improving patient self-management hospitalization. However, socioeconomic deprivation frailty could hinder access to virtual care. We investigated if factors were telemedicine among heart patients. For this cross-sectional analysis Continuum study, 35 patients allocated "able use" group (had a...
Abstract Background The use of mobile health apps for remote monitoring has considerable potential patient care. However, more research is needed to gather patients’ experience with their use. This study evaluates heart failure the effects on management (HF) using a smartphone app, challenges faced in such use, and suggestions improving efficacy this device. Method A qualitative was conducted all patients who had used TakeCare™ app at least three months during exploratory phase Continuum...
Background Heart failure (HF) is the primary cause of hospitalization among Canadian patients aged ≥65 years. Care for HF requires regular clinical follow-ups to prevent readmissions and facilitate medical therapy optimization. Multiple barriers lead therapeutic inertia including limited human resources regional inequities. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) digital therapeutics (DTx) solutions have been developed improve management, but their adoption remains underexplored. The Continuum...
Abstract Introduction The increasing use of digital health solutions to monitor heart failure (HF) outpatients has been driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. An ideal technology should answer specific needs a public healthcare system: easy integration and proof clinical benefit justify investment in its long-term use. Through consortium bringing together patients, physicians, industry, hospital organizations, we developed solution called “Continuum,” targeting patients with HF other...
