Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
m-Health interventions in heart failure may reduce hospital days and show trends toward lower mortality and admissions, though they may increase overall costs.
m-Health reduced HF-related hospital days, showed reduction trends in total mortality and HF-related admissions, mortality and cost, and increased total costs related to more clinic visits and implementation of new technologies. More studies reporting consistent quality outcomes are warranted to give conclusive information about the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of m-Health interventions for HF.
