Self-care Practices of Patients With Heart Failure Using Wearable Electronic Devices: A Systematic Review.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is the fastest growing cardiovascular condition globally; associated management costs and hospitalizations place an immense burden on healthcare systems. Wearable electronic devices (WEDs) may be useful tools to enhance HF management and mitigate negative health outcomes.

Objective: We aimed to perform a systematic review to examine the potential of WEDs to support HF self-care in ambulatory patients at home.
