Digitally-enabled CHW Care

Patients will be paired with a CHW and be encouraged to wear the arm biosensor continuously, take blood pressure daily, respond to short symptom assessments daily or every other day, complete weekly life quality surveys, watch weekly HF educational videos and engage in digital (e.g., video visit) and phone-based, and in-person CHW interactions. Each participant will have access to the digital platform and CHW staff during their hospitalization and for the 30 days following discharge for a typical study duration of approximately 32-35 days. Participants will complete questionnaires at the time of enrollment and at study end. Participants will also complete exit interviews in-person or via phone after the study ends.
