Home telemonitoring in heart failure patients: the HHH study (Home or Hospital in Heart Failure)

The Home or Hospital in Heart failure (HHH) study was a European Community‐funded, multinational, randomized controlled clinical trial, conducted in the UK, Poland, and Italy, to assess the feasibility of a new system of home telemonitoring (HT). The HT system was used to monitor clinical and physiological parameters, and its effectiveness (compared with usual care) in reducing cardiac events in heart failure (HF) patients was evaluated. Measurements were patient‐managed.
