The grant will fund development of a wireless open-access research platform that allows frequent remote monitoring of patients with heart failure and diabetes. Every morning, patients can step on a Blue Scale, a sensing device that looks like a regular bathroom scale, and the scale automatically and securely will transmit all necessary cardiac output data to the patient’s healthcare provider, alerting the provider to any small changes that can be easily managed, according to researchers.
