Article Synopsis
- * Germany has taken a leading role in implementing telemedicine for CHF, resulting in improved patient quality of life and fewer hospitalizations, supported by governmental backing and substantial research evidence.
- * This review analyzes the evolution of telemonitoring for CHF in Germany, highlighting key studies and the journey towards integrating telemedicine into standard care for high-risk patients.
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic disease characterized by high mortality and healthcare expenditures. Digital health solutions, including mobile health applications (apps), offer opportunities to enhance patients' self-care and quality of life. This qualitative study aimed to explore expectations, experiences, and usage behaviour of HF-patients regarding a self-care app ( app).

These sequelae include fatigue (potentially as severe as that seen in ME/CFS cases), cognitive dysfunction, and psychiatric symptoms. Because the pathophysiology of these sequelae remains unclear, existing therapeutic concepts address the symptoms through pacing strategies, cognitive training, and psychological therapy.

Although PREMs are frequently measured in inpatient treatment settings, they are rarely employed in digitally supported care processes or longitudinal assessment of care pathways.
Methods: To gain an overview of PREMs used to cover patients' experiences with digitally supported care processes in heart failure (HF), a scoping review was conducted in Medline.
Telemedical care concepts provide opportunities to improve the care of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The current state of telemedical technologies enables the effective monitoring of the disease. Germany is one of the first European countries with an entitlement to telemedical supporting care for CHF patients.
