In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Problem: Aggressive titration of guideline-directed medical therapy is the cornerstone of heart failure management to reduce heart failure related hospitalization and mortality. A major hurdle to uptitration of medical therapy is the safety concerns of these medications namely hypotension and bradycardia. Early and frequent clinic visits will be required to ensure the safe uptitration of these treatments, but this is difficult to implement in daily practice due to resources constrain. Advancement in wearable and wireless technologies enables remote and continuous monitoring of patients in ambulatory setting and potentially achieving safe and effective uptitration of medical therapy while minimizing the demand on the current healthcare system. However, access to these wearable and wireless technologies is not universal and patients in low socio-economic tiers might be deprived of the oppo
