Selfcare MAnagement InteRvenTion in Heart Failure II (SMART HF II)

Evaluation of a Digital Support and Communication Platform for Heart Failure:

The purpose of the study is to evaluate if the digital support and communication platform for heart failure can provide patients with heart failure increased knowledge, compliance and quality of life and thus affect re-admissions and visit structure.

To evaluate whether a digital support and communication platform for heart failure patients after 6 months can provide:

1. Improved self-care
2. Improved quality of life and reduced number of patient-assessed symptoms
3. Reduction in the number of cardiovascular events, hospital nights, the number of hospitalizations or the number of deaths and out-patient visits
