Adults hospitalized for acute HF were enrolled at discharge and assigned to AI-guided monitoring with clinician notification or to standard care. All participants wore a continuous multisensor patch for up to 90 days. A personalized similarity-based model detected deviations in cardiorespiratory and activity signals and generated notifications. Implementation outcomes included feasibility, acceptability, and usability. The main exploratory clinical endpoint was HF rehospitalization. Secondary exploratory clinical endpoints included the composite outcome of all-cause unplanned rehospitalizations, emergency department visits, and all-cause mortality. All clinical endpoints were compared through Cox proportional hazards models over the follow-up period.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 171 analyzed participants, 80 (46.8%) were assigned to intervention and 91 (53.2%) to control.

In exploratory analyses, HF rehospitalization occurred in 13 (16.3%) patients in the intervention group and 17 (18.7%) in the control group (HR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.43-1.84; P = 0.76). The composite clinical endpoint also did not differ between groups (HR 1.03; 95% CI: 0.63-1.70; P = 0.89).

Although this feasibility study did not demonstrate a reduction in exploratory clinical events, these findings highlight that accurate physiological risk detection alone may be insufficient to modify clinical risk without mechanistically aligned and trusted therapeutic responses.
