Selfcare Management Intervention in Heart Failure

"OPTILOGG is a CE marked class 1m medical device. It consists of a tablet computer and a wirelessly connected weight scale. The system will have some patient specific information regarding the flexible (loop-) diuretics scheme.~The patient will be asked to step on the weight scale daily, and will be shown to some brief information on how to live better with HF, as well as the recommended dose of diuretics that specific day. Every five days the patient will answer three questions about his/her symptoms, namely shortness of breath, fatigue and peripheral edema. The system also contains information that the patient can study at his/her leisure. If the system detects a deterioration in HF status, the patient is encouraged to contact his/her health care provider via telephone."

Patients in the control group will be subject to standard heart failure care.
