Personalized Voice Activated Wellness Assistants for Patients With Heart Failure

Patients will receive the Amazon Echo Dot with Alexa voice technology (Alexa+) and will be asked to interact with the device for 3 months. Alexa+ will ask a series of questions. Based on the answers to these questions, it will either contact a study coordinator or will ask patients to take a specific action (such as weighing themselves). Data from this simple intervention will be merged with data extracted from the patient's health record and analyzed for clinical variables and demographics that are most predictive for success in use of these technologies.

This group will receive standard of care (SOC) HF management, which will entail regular follow up from the HF nurse and data from all hospital or clinic visits will be captured from the EHR.
