Brief Summary

African Americans have the highest risk for developing heart failure. When African Americans are diagnosed with heart failure (AAHF) it is usually more advanced HF compared to other races. African-Americans have the highest rate of hospitalization for HF compared to any other ethnic groups. Thus, life style modification, awareness of signs and symptoms of HF by continuous, rather than intermittent monitoring, is essential in beginning to develop HF interventions that can provide early detection. Early interventions would lead to reduced re-hospitalization, prevent hospital readmission and reduce the mortality rate associated with HF.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Measure if the Readiband is able to measure Sleep and Fatigue

    Specific Aim #1: To evaluate the ability of HF patients to continuously wear a wrist-worn device (Readiband) for up to 42 days to monitor fatigue, activity and sleep. These data will be gathered via the Readiband which is a wrist-worn device. It is not an instrument or a scale. The wrist-worn wearable device, Readiband (Fatigue Science) has a 93% accuracy rate in measuring sleep The Readiband and the biomathematical fatigue model SAFTE (Sleep, Activity, Fatigue, and Task Effectiveness) have being successfully used to measure sleep and fatigue in multiple areas of research.

    42 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Correlation between data from the Readiband and the PROMIS scales

    42 days

Study Arms (1)

Feasibility of Wearing a Readiband

OTHER

Participants will wear the Fatigue Science Readiband for 42 consecutive day. On day one, every seventh day and at the end of the study each participant will complete the Dyspnea-Characteristic scale, BRICS NINR PROMIS Fatigue Short Form6a scale , Modified Pulmonary Functional Status, Dyspnea Questionnaire and the BRICS NINR PROMIS SF v1.0-Sleep Disturbance 6a scale.The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire and Self-Care of Heart Failure Index will be completed on day one and day 60. The purpose of this intervention is to assess the Feasibility of Wearing a Readiband. Semi-structured Interview will be conducted at the end of 42 days to assess patient comfort and challenges with wearing the Readiband.

Device: Feasibility of wearing a Readiband to monitor Sleep and Fatigue

Interventions

On day one of the study participants will complete a demographic survey. On day one, every seventh day and at the end of the study each participant will complete all the scales; The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) and Self-Care of Heart Failure Index will be completed on day one and day 60. At the end of the intervention an Interview will be conducted to assess participants experiences using the Readiband: On a scale of 0-10, how would you rate your digital literacy? 2) Why that number? 3) Tell me about a day using the readiband? 4) Were there any challenges to wearing the band, forgetting to wear it, level of comfort wearing the band? Anything else etc..? 5) How did the digital tools enhance your health? 6) Did the use of digital tools cause you to take a proactive approach rather than a reactive approach to your health? 7) As I use the readiband in a next study, what suggestions do you have for me?
