Can a Nurse-Led digital Check-In keep heart failure patients out of the hospital?
NCT ID NCT05447598
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a nurse-led remote monitoring program can help heart failure patients after they leave the hospital. About 200 patients will use a digital platform or phone to report symptoms and medication adherence for three months. The goal is to see if this reduces hospital readmissions and improves outcomes compared to usual care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nurse-led remote monitoring program (digital platform and telephone monitoring)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical, scalable way to monitor heart failure patients at home, reducing hospital readmissions and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial (200 patients) and previous remote monitoring studies have shown mixed results. The intervention may not significantly reduce readmissions or may be difficult for some patients to use.
