Telemedicine in Heart Failure; Treatment, Prognosis and Patient Experience

Patients receive equipment for report of vital signs and patient reported experience measures (PREMS), automatically transmitted via smartphone/bluetooth for six months (possible extension to 12 months in case of instability). A digital smartphone application is used for registration and transmission of data, including modes for asynchronous (chat) communication with the healthcare provider. Planned titration to OMT or diuretic adjustments may be done remotely depending on clinical assessment. The digital sensors include an electronic scale, pulse and blood pressure monitor for daily measurements by the patient.
