Summary

This UK study tests a device that scans your feet each day to detect fluid buildup, a key sign of worsening heart failure. The goal is to catch problems early so doctors can adjust treatment and prevent hospital stays. About 186 adults with heart failure are taking part, using the device at home alongside standard care.
