Summary

This study tests whether a home monitoring program can reduce complications and deaths in infants who had heart surgery. Parents will measure their child's heart rate, oxygen levels, and weight at home and send the data daily via a secure app. The program includes alerts for worrisome changes and a team response. 186 children aged 0-36 months will be followed for 6 months after surgery.
