Creating connections - the development of a mobile-health monitoring system for heart failure: Qualitative findings from a usability cohort study.

Objective: There is significant interest in the role of digital health technology in enabling optimal monitoring of heart failure patients. To harness this potential, it is vital to account for users' capacity and preferences in the development of technological solutions. We adopted an iterative approach focussed on learning from users' interactions with a mobile-health monitoring system.

A user-centred home monitoring and self-management system for patients with heart failure: a multicentre cohort study.

Aims: Previous generations of home monitoring systems have had limited usability. We aimed to develop and evaluate a user-centred and adaptive system for health monitoring and self-management support in patients with heart failure.

Methods And Results: Patients with heart failure were recruited from three UK centres and provided with Internet-enabled tablet computers that were wirelessly linked with sensor devices for blood pressure, heart rate, and weight monitoring.
