Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is a common chronic condition in the U.S., leading to high hospitalization rates and significant mortality, prompting the exploration of continuous remote patient monitoring (CRPM) as a potential solution to reduce readmissions.
- The study at NorthShore University HealthSystem aims to assess the feasibility and early effectiveness of a CRPM system using a wearable biosensor to monitor HF patients for 30 days post-discharge, supplemented by daily surveys.
- The research consists of three phases: phase 1 involved 5 patients to refine the program, phase 2 includes 15 patients for calibration, and phase 3 will enroll 45 patients, with the combined results used to evaluate the CRPM program’s practical application in HF
