HeartMapp: a mobile application to improve CHF outcomes and reduce hospital readmissions

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), by its very nature, may lead to frequent hospital visits due to the complexity of managing the risk factors associated with it. Prescribed treatments for discharged patients are usually a combination of medicine, life style changing guidelines, and physical therapy. Treatment compliance is usually challenging and frustrating for both patients and providers. HeartMapp provides a multi-dimensional approach to address these issues combining patient engagement techniques, remote physiological monitoring, automation of traditional clinical protocols, and clinical decision support, all in one patient centered, self-care mobile application.
