Summary

This study looks at whether using smartphone health apps and receiving personalized text messages can help people with chronic heart failure manage their condition better. Researchers want to see if these tools reduce the number of days people spend in the hospital for heart problems or prevent death. About 360 adults with heart failure will be randomly assigned to use the apps, receive texts, both, or neither, and be followed for up to 12 months.
