Welcome to ENGAGE-HF, your personalized heart health companion! Developed by Stanford University in collaboration with DOT HF network, funded by the American Heart Association Health Tech SFRN, this app is designed to make managing heart failure easier and more effective.



With ENGAGE-HF, you have the power to optimize your heart failure treatment plan and improve your overall well-being. Our app simplifies the process of getting on the best combination of medicines to help you live longer and healthier. By tracking your vitals and health status over time, you'll be more engaged in your heart failure care, allowing for personalized interventions and better health outcomes.



Your heart health journey begins with the main dashboard, where you'll find daily check-ins and two-week check-ins, closely monitoring your heart health.



During your daily check-in, you'll provide vital health status information, and the app will help you track your medication adherence, giving you valuable insights into your progress.



We encourage active participation in your heart health management, and to motivate you further, ENGAGE-HF features an engagement score. By completing app activities, like answering daily health status questions, reporting medication adherence, and checking vitals, you'll increase your score, empowering you to stay on track.



Inside the app, you'll discover three main pages: Vitals, Health Status, and Medication.



The Vitals page lets you view your blood pressure, heart rate, and weight measurements.



In the Health Status page, we utilize the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-12 (KCCQ-12), the dizziness questionnaire, and the daily health status question, giving you a comprehensive view of your heart failure symptoms and overall well-being.



The Medication page offers detailed information about your core heart failure medications.



We've introduced a visual representation using colored circles with symbols, making it easier to understand your medication status. The circle degree represents your progress towards the target dose, helping you monitor your journey to optimal treatment.



Additionally, ENGAGE-HF provides a personalized Heart Failure Med Score, ranging from 0 to 100, reflecting the best possible treatment for your heart failure. This score evolves as your medication regimen and vital information change, giving you valuable insights into your progress. For diuretics, a dedicated section provides instructions on responding to sudden weight gain.



The app's user-friendly menu includes general account settings, notification settings, medication alarms, health summary, educational resources, and contact information, allowing you to tailor your app experience. Customize notifications for each task and set or modify alarms for medications in the notification settings, ensuring you never miss an important update.



The Health Summary feature presents a comprehensive overview of vitals, health status scores, and medications, empowering you to prepare questions for your clinicians. Easily share a PDF summary with healthcare providers or caregivers, fostering collaborative care.



To deepen your understanding of heart failure management, the ENGAGE-HF app offers short educational videos. Learn about app usage, heart failure medications, and monitoring from expert insights provided by the American Heart Association and the Heart Failure Society of America.
