NCT ID NCT07251894
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study is testing whether providing medically tailored meals to heart failure patients after they leave the hospital is practical and helpful. Researchers will enroll 85 adults who are on Medicaid or Medicare and recovering from a heart failure hospitalization. The meals are designed to meet their nutritional needs, and the study will measure how many meals are successfully delivered and how patients rate the service.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
medically tailored meals
What this could lead to
If this works, it could show that providing tailored meals after a heart failure hospital stay helps patients recover better and reduces the chance of being readmitted.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 85 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It is testing feasibility, not yet proven to improve health outcomes.
