No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support remote monitoring for older HF self-care; leaves open confirmation in larger RCTs.
Evangelista et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Chronic heart failure (n=21). Remote monitoring system (RMS) vs. Standard discharge instructions was evaluated on Activation, self-care, and quality of life (QOL). A 3-month remote monitoring system intervention showed greater improvements in activation, self-care, and quality of life compared with standard discharge instructions in older patients with heart failure.
