AI-Summary
What this Trial Is About
This study will evaluate the Heartfelt device, a novel, passive monitoring system that detects early signs of fluid build-up in patients (oedema) with heart failure by measuring changes in foot and lower leg volume through capture of 3D images. The trial will assess whether this device, when added to standard NHS care, improves quality of life and reduces heart failure-related events compared to standard care alone.
