Can daily home monitoring keep heart failure patients out of the hospital?
NCT ID NCT07680634
First seen Jul 02, 2026 ยท Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a hybrid care pathway that includes home telemonitoring helps people with heart failure spend more days at home and out of the hospital. Participants measure their weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and symptoms daily, sending the data to a medical center that can intervene early. Researchers will compare outcomes for patients in the program with those receiving usual care across seven hospitals in the Netherlands. The goal is to see if this approach improves survival, quality of life, and medication use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hybrid heart failure care pathway with home telemonitoring
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this approach could help heart failure patients stay healthier at home and reduce hospital visits, potentially becoming a standard care model.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by patient selection. The telemonitoring program requires digital literacy, which may limit who can benefit.
