Using a heart failure app can help you better manage your heart failure by:

  • reminding you to monitor your symptoms such as your weight, checking your legs for swelling
  • reminding you to take your medicines 
  • providing information on a low-salt diet
  • reminding you about your health care provider appointments
  • providing information on safe exercises.
