NCT05653726

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to know if telemonitoring and telematic follow-up reduces the healthcare resources utilization, healthcare costs and non-healthcare costs of patients with high-risk heart failure. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does telematic follow-up reduce de use of healthcare resource utilization of patients with heart failure?
  • Is telematic follow-up cost-efficient in terms of reducing direct healthcare costs in heart failure patients?
  • Is telematic follow-up cost-efficient in terms of reducing non-healthcare costs in heart failure patients? Participants will be randomized to usual care (control group) or telematic care (interventional group). Patients randomized to the interventional group will be included in a protocol of daily automatic telemonitoring of arterial pressure, peripheral oximetry, heart rate and weight, and telematic consultations lead by a heart failure clinical specialized team. Researchers will compare the healthcare resource utilization, healthcare and non-healthcare costs of patients randomized to control vs. interventional group.
