The Fluid Heart Tracker app
Weight is one way to identify if heart failure is getting worse or if changes to medication are required to control extra fluid. A mobile app which has been developed by Norma Caples in collaboration between Team OSVX and PerCen Technologies, is a self-care tool that supports patients living with heart failure to manage their own self-care. The Irish Heart Foundation has championed this app and is available on their website.
