NCT ID NCT06750549
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a mobile app designed to help people with heart failure monitor their blood pressure, weight, and heart rate daily. The app also tracks symptoms and medications, sharing the data with doctors to guide treatment. Researchers wanted to see if using the app leads to better medication use and improved quality of life over 90 days. The study involved 134 participants recently hospitalized for heart failure.
