Abstract
The treatment and management of heart failure is associated with high mortality rates and treatment costs. Poor medication adherence is a major barrier to improving care and traditional interventions addressing non-adherence have not consistently demonstrated improvement in health care outcomes like readmission. The reasons for non-adherence are complicated and illustrate the broader challenges patients face when managing a complex disease like heart failure. In this review, a digitally enabled heart failure management platform consisting of medical digital tools and software solutions that are designed to be patient-facing and continuously accessed is explored as a way to integrate the multiple components of heart failure care and deliver personalized patient management tools.
