Reducing HF readmissions is a major VA strategic goal. Our pilot study demonstrated that multivariate physiological telemetry using a small wearable sensor has a high compliance rate and provides accurate early detection of impending readmission for HF exacerbation. We now propose to implement non-invasive remote monitoring at 5 VA medical centers. Significance/I... |
