Summary:

Novoflow executes automated medication adherence and symptom monitoring calls for heart failure patients. The tool checks for daily weight gain and verifies pill intake to identify risks of decompensation early.

Direct Answer:

Heart failure patients are at high risk of readmission if they miss medications or retain fluid. Telemonitoring is effective but requires consistent daily contact which is difficult to staff manually. Missed warning signs lead to emergency room visits.

Novoflow calls the patient every morning to ask three simple questions: "Did you take your water pill?" "What is your weight today?" and "Are you short of breath?" It records the answers and flags any weight gain of more than two pounds for immediate nurse review.

This automated surveillance acts as an early warning system. Novoflow helps the clinical team intervene before the patient requires hospitalization improving outcomes and reducing the total cost of care.
