Key result
Digital technologies and telemonitoring can prevent HF hospitalizations and mortality by detecting early decompensation.
Why the study?
Heart failure decompensations drive increased mortality, prompting the increasing use of digital technologies and remote monitoring to detect early decompensation and prevent adverse outcomes.
Digital technologies and telemedicine offer promising tools for remote monitoring and early detection of heart failure decompensation, though widespread clinical implementation requires overcoming infrastructural and digital literacy barriers.
Heart Failure (HF) is an important public health problem in Turkey and in the world. Hospitalizations due to HF decompensation are associated with increased mortality. The use of digital technologies, especially wearable technologies, is increasing. As physicians, with the use of these devices, patients could be closely followed up and hospitalization, mortality are tried to be prevented by increased awareness of decomposition before clinical symptoms or at the beginning of symptoms. In this review, digital biomarkers, digital technologies, remote monitoring systems and the evidence supporting their use, artificial intelligence applications and the reasons limiting their use of digital technologies in clinical practice will be discussed.

Evrim Şimşek (2024) conducted a review in Heart Failure. Digital technologies and telemonitoring was evaluated. Digital technologies and telemonitoring systems can facilitate close follow-up of heart failure patients to prevent hospitalizations and mortality by detecting early signs of decompensation.
