System for the management of heart failure

Support-HF is a prescribed digital therapeutic for monitoring heart failure at home

Support-HF™

Heart failure is the leading cause of hospital admissions for those aged 65 years and older and admissions are expected to rise by 50% over the next 25 years¹. Support-HF is a digital therapeutic comprised of a software application for use on a patient's tablet device, together with a patient monitoring website accessible by healthcare professionals only, and able to be operated as a managed service.*

Simple Self-Management

Heart failure patients are able to record data and access self-management tools at home to record automatically (via Bluetooth) their daily vital signs data on blood pressure and weight alongside subjective symptom information that is entered manually via the application.

Remote Management for Clinicians

Healthcare professionals can track their patients’ health remotely and use the data to support clinical decision-making via the website and ensure patients are on an optimum treatment plan, following NICE guidelines. This data can be shared with the specialist (cardiology) care team and the plan sent via email to the patient’s GP to implement.
