Summary
This study tests whether regular video calls with a nurse can help people with heart failure manage their condition better than audio-only calls. About 140 adults with heart failure will be randomly assigned to receive either video or audio calls at 7, 30, 60, 180, and 365 days after leaving the hospital. The main goal is to see if video monitoring improves self-care behaviors like daily weighing, medication adherence, and diet.
