Summary

Approximately 6.5 million people have heart failure (HF) in the United States, and 960,000 new cases are reported each year. HF is one of the most common hospital diagnosis among older adults. About 40% of patients are readmitted within 1-year following their first admission for HF and hospitalization accounts for approximately 80% of the costs of HF management. This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a patient-centered mobile health (mHealth) technology intervention in older adults with chronic heart failure.

BEHAVIORAL

iCardia4HF

Participants in the intervention group will receive the Heart Failure Health Storylines mobile app, three connected health devices that interface with the app (Fitbit Charge 2 activity tracker, and FDA-approved Nokia BP monitor and Cardio Body weight scale), and a program of tailored self-care text-messages, in addition to usual care. Participants will be asked to use the app and devices to record and self-monitor their daily symptoms, blood pressure, weight, and physical activity.
