Read our Heart Failure research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a Care Transitions App designed to help patients with multiple long-term conditions—like heart failure, diabetes, and kidney disease—stay healthy and avoid problems after they leave the hospital. The app provides clear, simplified information about medications, follow-up appointments, and care instructions. Researchers will compare patients who use the app to those who receive usual discharge care.
After hospital discharge, patients with multiple chronic conditions face a high risk of readmission, medication errors, falls, and other serious problems because information gets lost between hospital and home care providers, and patients often don't fully understand their post-discharge instructions. This trial exists to see whether the app can bridge that gap and keep patients safer at home.

If you are assigned to use the Care Transitions App, you will receive access to the app before or shortly after leaving the hospital and will use it at home over the next 30 days to manage your medications, appointments, and care instructions. You may also receive follow-up calls to check on your progress. Participants in the usual care group will receive standard discharge information and follow-up. The trial involves about 798 patients across multiple hospital locations.
