Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate the effects of an m-health tool on self-care behaviour at 3 and 12 months and explore heart failure patients' experiences and perceptions of the tool.
Does an m-health tool improve self-care behaviour in patients with heart failure?
Does an m-health tool improve self-care behaviour in patients with heart failure?
An m-health tool improved self-care behavior in heart failure patients at 3 months, but the effect did not persist at 1 year, suggesting the need for regularly updated support.
Short-term HF self-care gains from m-health may not persist; leaves open whether ongoing support extends benefits.
