Aims: Diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) can be challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of a webtool to enhance the scoring accuracy when applying the complex HFA-PEFF and H FPEF algorithms, which are commonly used for diagnosing HFpEF.

Methods And Results: We developed an online tool, the HFpEF calculator, that enables the automatic calculation of current HFpEF algorithms.

Aim: The aim of the study is to discuss the changing role of patients, nurses and doctors in an era of digital health and heart failure care.

Background: With a growing demand for heart failure care and a shortage of health care professionals to meet it, digital technologies offer a potential solution to overcoming these challenges.

Evaluation: In reviewing pertinent research evidence and drawing on our collective clinical and research experiences, including the co-design and development of an autonomous remote system, DoctorME, we offer some reflections and propose some practical suggestions for nurturing truly collaborative heart failure care.
