Virtual clinic for managing heart failure at home
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a virtual “heart failure clinic” and home heart monitoring to help people manage symptoms and outcomes. It may help by catching problems earlier and guiding safer self-care between doctor visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 18 or older
- You have heart failure symptoms at least moderate (NYHA class II or III) and you needed hospital care or urgent treatment for fluid in the last 12 months
- Your heart failure is stable for at least 3 months (either reduced or preserved pumping strength)
- You can use a smartphone or iPad with internet to use the app and send/receive monitoring info
- You meet health and safety checks: blood pressure, heart rate, kidney function, and oxygen/blood vessel lung pressure must be in acceptable ranges
- Your blood vessel anatomy fits the monitoring plan (specific measurements for the pulmonary artery branch, and a body-size distance rule if BMI is over 35)

This trial checks whether using a smartphone or tablet to monitor heart failure symptoms from home is feasible and helps people do better. You may be asked to track your symptoms and health data, and the team will see if this approach can work safely.
This trial tests whether checking in remotely (telemonitoring) helps doctors adjust heart failure medications more effectively. It is for people newly diagnosed with heart failure who have reduced pumping strength and signs of fluid buildup.
This trial tests whether a home, virtual-care program after a recent heart failure hospital visit can improve recovery and outcomes. You may be invited if you recently left the hospital for heart failure and meet specific heart and lab test thresholds.
This trial tests a new way of caring for heart failure that combines in-person clinic visits with at-home monitoring using digital tools. If you join, you may be able to have more of your check-ups from home, which could be more convenient and help your care team catch problems early.
This trial tests if a smartphone app or similar remote tools can help doctors catch early signs that heart failure is getting worse in people who have a defibrillator (ICD) or biventricular pacemaker (CRT) that sends data to the clinic. Participating helps researchers figure out if this type of check-in from home works better than standard care.
This trial tests a web-based prevention program for people recently hospitalized with heart failure (with low pumping ability). The goal is to help you stay healthier and avoid another hospital stay.
