Heart failure, also referred to as congestive heart failure (CHF), is what happens when your heart isn't pumping blood in and out like it should. This can cause fluid to build up in your lungs, which makes it hard to breathe and can affect your daily life.
There are steps you can take, such as changes to your diet and exercise routine, to stay in control and feel better. Studies show that adding daily remote monitoring, like 1-minute virtual check-ins with DailyDoctor, can also help you live longer.
Get Started With DailyDoctorCHF can be brought on by complications from other conditions such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, and diabetes.
Symptoms include:
DailyDoctor check-ins can help catch a change in your condition earlier, so you can get treatment from the comfort of home before needing a trip to the hospital.
Once you're signed up with DailyDoctor, we'll mail you a remote monitoring kit with everything you need to complete your daily check-ins.
Inside the kit, you'll find:
You can let us know if you prefer to communicate by web, text (SMS), or phone call each day.
Each morning, you'll weigh yourself, take your blood pressure, and use the pulse-oximeter to measure your blood oxygen level (SpO2) and heart rate. Your information is then wirelessly transmitted to us.
You'll rate your symptoms on a scale of zero to four. You can do this by web, text (SMS), or phone.
A DailyDoctor physician will review your information and reach out the same day if they need to adjust your treatments or recommend additional medical care.
If we don't hear from you, a DailyDoctor care coordinator will remind you to check in.
A chronic condition doesn't have to define your life. See if daily health monitoring can make the difference you're looking for.
