Interest of the Smartphone Application "MonCœur" in the Follow-up of Patients With Heart Failure

Heart failure is a chronic disease that requires careful monitoring and therapeutic education. Smartphones have made their appearance in patients lives and allow close contact with them. The possibility of using a digital application dedicated to patients with heart failure concerning the symptoms to be monitored, treatments, diet, appointments, physical activity could improve the monitoring and the prognosis of patients following their hospitalization.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the use of a special application dedicated to the monitoring of heart failures disease has a favorable impact on the occurrence of readmissions and, ultimately, cardiovascular mortality.
