American Heart Association Launches Connected Care Pilot With Cadence to Support Heart Failure Patients at Home

Four hospitals are piloting the model, with results yet to be reported.

Overview

  • Hospitals refer eligible patients before discharge as the program is embedded in discharge workflows to continue care at home.
  • Cadence enrolls patients, supplies monitoring devices, trains users, tracks vital signs, and provides 24/7 clinical support.
  • The initiative pairs AHA guideline-directed care with Cadence’s AI-driven remote monitoring and virtual provider group.
  • Pilot sites include Texas Health Allen in Texas; Rutherford Regional Medical Center and Frye Regional Medical Center in North Carolina; and Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula in California.
  • The launch targets high 30‑day readmission rates and low uptake of all guideline therapy pillars post-discharge, though RPM effectiveness on readmissions has shown mixed results in prior research.
