Heart failure is a leading cause of hospital admissions among older adults, and demand is rising as the population ages. Symptoms are often recognised too late, and they develop gradually, leading to costly emergency admission and the need for specialist care, such as intravenous diuretics or intensive care. 

Without proper remote monitoring, patients’ symptom progression is often identified too late, and healthcare costs remain high. This is why Heart Hospital co-developed a remote care service to monitor and support patients with heart failure at home. 

• With heart failure affecting growing numbers of patients, the remote care system enables Heart Hospital to manage larger patient populations without proportionally increasing clinical workload. Risk scoring and intelligent alerts help clinicians prioritise those who need attention most, preserving quality even as scale increases.
  
  
• Earlier detection of clinical deterioration enables timely intervention and reduces avoidable hospital admissions and costly intensive care.
  
  
• Remote care supports patient self-management by increasing engagement and understanding of their condition through symptom tracking and personalised guidance.

• Among patients with a new diagnosis of heart failure (HFrEF), 30‑day readmission rates are low 6.3% of patients require rehospitalisation, which is clearly lower than the 30‑day readmission rates typically reported in the era of contemporary medical therapy (approximately 15–20%)
  
  
• Investing in the heart failure care pathway ensures high-quality care from the moment of diagnosis
  
  
• Guideline-recommended, evidence-based pharmacological therapy is implemented well
  Evidence-based medical therapy is in use at discharge in 71% of patients
  
  
• Remote care service supports continuity of care in everyday life
  Evidence-based treatment is maintained and intensified consistently after discharge
  
  
• Investing in early-phase management together with a remote care service is reflected in clinical outcomes
