The goal of this real-world, multi-center, randomized, outpatient study is to assess the effectiveness of the Biofourmis cloud based BiovitalsHF platform to recommend optimal titration of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) subjects.
Patients with heart failure (HF) remain at high risk for hospitalization and death in part due to underuse of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT). Digital interventions may facilitate rapid initiation, titration and optimization of GDMT but have not been systematically evaluated in randomized control trials. In the AIM-POWER study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of a novel software medical application, BiovitalsHF, as a strategy to guide remote optimization of GDMT in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | No Intervention | Subjects in the Control Arm will receive standard of care as normally provided in the clinical center where the study is being conducted. | |
| Intervention | Experimental | Subjects randomized to the Intervention Arm will be remotely monitored for 90 days using the BiovitalsHF platform to manage initiation and titration of GDMT with and outside of normal or traditional clinical encounters. |

| BiovitalsHF | Device | BiovitalsHFTM is a cloud-based platform that incorporates continuous physiology data from remote vital signs monitoring devices and electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) monitoring of subjects at-home to support GDMT dose titration for HFrEF patients. |

|---|---|---|
| • To assess the effectiveness of the Biofourmis cloud-based BiovitalsHF DTx to improve guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) adoption in subjects with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) after 90 days of using the platform | The primary endpoint will be the between-group difference in the change at 90 days, between the intervention and control arm in heart failure optimal therapy score. Heart Failure Optimal Therapy Score: A heart failure optimal therapy score was developed (see Table S9 below) based on clinical practice guidelines, including the 2021 Update to the 2017 ACC expert consensus decision pathway for optimization of heart failure treatment {REF}. One point is awarded for initiating evidence-based BB, MRA, or ARNI and two points for up titrating those classes of medications to 50% or higher target dose. Two points are awarded for initiating SGLT2 inhibitor as there is a single approved dose (and no opportunity for dose titration). Finally, if a patient is not on an ARNI, one point is awarded for ACEi/ARB at 50% or higher target dose. Of note, ARNI patients do not receive points for ACEi/ARB. The maximum possible score is 8 points, and the minimum possible score is 0 points. | 90 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| • To assess the effectiveness of the Biofourmis cloud-based BiovitalsHF DTX to improve the composite clinical outcome by calculating the win ratio between treatment and control arm. | A win ratio [13] will be used to analyze the composite endpoints in the following order of clinical importance:

| Change in quality of life and function | • Change in KCCQ-23 | 90 days |
Inclusion Criteria:
Subjects are eligible to be included in the study only if all the following criteria apply:
Participant not on optimal GDMT for HFrEF per investigator judgement. This would include patients ranging from no treatments for HFrEF to a patient on multiple GDMTs for HFrEF but with at least 1 medication at 50% or less than target dose.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

| • To assess the effectiveness of the Biofourmis cloud based BiovitalsHF DTx to help improve GDMT adoption and on clinical outcomes. | • The key secondary endpoint will be the percentage of subjects on target dose of GDMT. Comparisons between the control and intervention arm will be based on the CHAMP-HF registry design [4]. At baseline, day 90, and day 180, subjects will be divided into one of four groups according to prescribed dose of GDMT: subjects not receiving medication, subjects treated with <50% target dose, subjects treated with 50 to <100% target dose, and subjects treated with >100% target dose. | 90 days |
| GDMT initiation | • Initiation of evidence-based beta-blocker, ACEi/ARB/ARNI, MRA or SGLT2 inhibitors including proportion of subjects switching from ACEi/ARB to ARNI | 90 days |
| Quadruple therapy | • Proportion of subjects on 4 GDMT drug classes | 90 days |
| Time to GDMT optimization | • Time taken to achieve 50% target dose between control and intervention arms. | 90 days |
