Continuum: Digital Health to Manage Heart Failure Outpatients

Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of hospitalization and death worldwide. Remote patient monitoring and digital therapeutics could help reduce the consumption of care for these patients (hospitalizations, emergency room visits) and optimize their management (education, medication optimization). This randomized study aims to evaluate the effects of the Continuum software solution in patients with heart failure, whether or not they are followed in specialized clinics. Heart failure is one of the main causes of hospitalization and death in the world. Evidence suggests that remote patient monitoring (RPM) and digital therapeutics (DTX solutions) can help improve care consumption (i.e. hospitalizations, emergency visits) and also support health care professionals to improve care (i.e. symptoms management, drug optimization). This randomised study aims to evaluate the effects of these two software solutions in the context of specialized HF clinics (HFC) and primary health care on health care consumption and clinical events.
