Summary

This study tests whether adding game-like features and social support or competition can help people with a type of heart failure (HFpEF) become more physically active. About 270 adults will wear activity trackers and be placed in one of three groups to compare different motivational strategies. The goal is to see if these approaches lead to lasting increases in daily steps and improvements in quality of life.
