Automated Hovering for Congestive Heart Failure Patients: A Pilot Study

Participants will identify a support partner who will be contacted if the participant is non-adherent to their diuretic and/or weighing-in.

Participants will be entered into a daily lottery, for which their participation is contingent on adhering to their diuretic and to weighing-in on the previous day.

Participant adherence to their diuretic will be monitored on a daily basis and participants will be contacted if they are non-adherent to this medication.

Participant adherence to stepping on their scale will be monitored on a daily basis and participants will be contacted if they are non-adherent to weighing-in. Participant weight gain will also be monitored, and if weight gain exceeds a specific threshold, the managing physician will be notified through the electronic medical record system. Managing providers will also be sent a weekly report of weight measurements.
