Detailed description

Abstract Aims: To develop a smartphone application and investigate its effectiveness on patients with heart failure after using the heart failure self-health management application.. Design: The single-group pre- and post-test experimental design was adopted. Methods: This study used convenience sampling and the one-group pretest and posttest design as the research methods and developed the heart failure self-health management application using the Google cloud database and Web App. The research period was from July 1 to December 31, 2019, a total of 36 patients diagnosed with heart failure during hospitalization completed the pretest and posttest.
