Heart Failure Clinical Trial
e-Diary in Heart Failure
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and feasibility of using a smartphone application to monitor symptoms and weight in patients with advanced heart failure.
Full Description
Attention to symptoms of heart failure and weight gain are central tenets in heart failure patient education and self-care. A key self-care skill for heart failure patients is the early detection of subtle changes in symptoms. Daily diary use can be one method for patients to acknowledge and attend to their symptoms. This study is examining if the use of a diary in the form of an app on a mobile phone will improve patient outcomes. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups-- usual care or the Movn mobile application. Participants randomized to the mobile app will be asked to record their weight and any symptoms every day over the course of two months.
