Key result
A 12-week ICT-based telehealth program with voice recognition technology did not significantly improve urine sodium concentration or quality of life in the overall chronic heart failure population.
Why the study?
Does an ICT-based telehealth program with voice recognition technology improve surrogate markers of appropriate HF management in patients with chronic heart failure?

An ICT-based telehealth program with voice recognition technology may improve sodium intake control and quality of life in highly adherent patients with chronic heart failure.
Lee et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Chronic Heart Failure (n=31). ICT-based telehealth program with voice recognition technology vs. Baseline (single-arm study) was evaluated on Change in urine sodium concentration (uNa) at 12 weeks (p=0.45). A 12-week ICT-based telehealth program with voice recognition technology did not significantly improve urine sodium concentration or quality of life in the overall chronic heart failure population.
