Heart failure patients walk toward better health in new Step-Based trial
NCT ID NCT07204834
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 9-month program that encourages people with heart failure to gradually increase their daily steps and walking speed can improve their physical function and symptoms. Two hundred participants will either receive standard care or the step-based program, which uses wearable devices and personalized goals. The main goal is to see if the program helps them walk farther in a 6-minute test and feel better day-to-day.
