A Randomized Study of the Effectiveness of an Integrated Tele-monitoring and Patient-centric Health Coaching Strategy (Tele-HC) in Adult Patients Recently Hospitalized With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) Compared to Standard Care

This study evaluates the effectiveness of remote tele-monitoring and health coaching in
helping to reduce hospitalizations in heart failure patients. Half of participants will
receive tele-monitoring and health coaching, while the other half will receive standard
health care provided by their chosen provider.

Tele-monitoring involves a personal monitoring system used to analyze data to provide
relevant health information back to the treating clinician and the user. The monitoring
system remotely monitors electrocardiographic (ECG) signals, heart rate, breathing rate, and
activity levels. Additional devices will be integrated with the monitoring device to assess
blood pressure and weight.

Health Coaching involves a team of health care professionals including a registered nurse
(RN). The health care team creates a plan specific to the patient and provides guidance on
nutrition' medications, and exercise. The data collected by the remote monitoring device will
assist the care team in patient management.

Inclusion Criteria:
