详细描述
This would be a single center, parallel, two group randomized controlled pilot study that is designed to assess the feasibility and efficacy of the Virtual Coach Program in elderly patients with heart failure. Sixteen (16) subjects will be enrolled to allow 8 subjects to be randomly assigned to each arm. The study will be conducted in Thessaloniki/Greece. The study is expected to complete enrollment in approximately 3 months. Participants will be randomly randomized to either the intervention group (use of Virtual Coach program and usual care) or the control group (use of usual care alone) after successfully fulfilling all inclusion and exclusion criteria.
