| Abstrakt: | Heart failure (HF) is a major challenge worldwide and needs continuous monitoring of patients even after hospital discharge. This case report summarises the data collected and experience gained from the first usage of an automated, point-of-care device (Heartfelt device) in a patient's home in the UK. The device monitors the onset of peripheral oedema and alerts clinicians if an increase in volume outside an expected normal range for the patient is detected. This may provide a reliable method of remotely and automatically monitoring HF patients in the home for those who do not reliably use weighing scales. The device successfully provided data for about 15 months and generated alerts in advance, which supported decisions for the patient's care. The rate of data acquisition was very high and consistent throughout this period. The patient was satisfied with the device and agreed that it helped in her decision to seek medical attention.
