More Information
Summary:Vital sign data, including blood pressure, heart rate, and weight, was collected through an ambulatory remote monitoring system that included a smartphone application and complementary consumer grade Bluetooth-connected smart devices. Overall, there were 6 hospital readmissions (10%) after 1 month, most commonly non-compliant patients and those with other comorbid conditions, compared to national readmission rates of >25% within 30 days of discharge Conclusion Given the increasing burden of CHF, there is a need for an effective and sustainable remote monitoring system for CHF patients following hospital discharge.
