Future Patient - Telerehabilitation of Heart Failure Patients

Summary

The idea behind the Future Patient research project is to develop a telerehabilitation program and tools for patients with heart failure.

The hypothesis for this study is that participation in a telerehabilitation program for patients with heart failure will increase the patients' quality of life and multi-parametric (subjective and objective) individualized monitoring in a telerehabilitation program for patients with heart failure will increase detection of worsening of symptoms and avoid future hospitalization of the HF-patients.
