Gerontechnologies for older patients with heart failure: what is the role of smartphones, tablets, and remote monitoring devices in improving symptom monitoring and self-care management?
The authors discussed the role of gerontechnologies, specifically the use of mobile applications available on smartphones and tablets as well as remote monitoring systems, for outpatient disease management among older adults with heart failure.

The E-Coach technology-assisted care transition system: a pragmatic randomized trial.
The researchers sought to evaluate the impact of a technology-supported care transition support program (E-Coach) on hospitalizations, days out of the community, and mortality. for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They found that rehospitalization rates did not differ between E-Coach and usual care groups; however, E-Coach was associated with fewer days in the hospital with the COPD subgroup, suggesting that E-Coach may be more beneficial among those with COPD but not those with CHF.

Effectiveness of remote patient monitoring after discharge of hospitalized patients with heart failure: the better effectiveness after transition-heart failure (BEAT-HF) randomized clinical trial.
The researchers evaluated the effectiveness of a care transition intervention using remote patient monitoring in reducing 180-day all-cause readmissions among a broad population of older adults hospitalized with HF. Theyn found that intervention and usual care groups did not differ significantly in readmissions for any cause 180 days after discharge.
