The 'Fluid Heart Tracker App' supports patients with weight calculations over a rolling seven-day period. This App is compatible with all smart phone devices. It allows patients enter daily weights and it automatically calculates weight. If an increase in weight is detected, the patient receives an alert advising them to contact their doctor or heart failure nurse. This study tests whether the app is effective in supporting self-care among patients with heart failure through measuring a range of quantifiable variables.
