@CardioNowNews @JNasrMD @CMichaelGibson @ceciliabahit Appreciate the coverage!
One of the key insights for us was that early detection alone isn’t enough. How that signal is delivered and acted on may be just as important.

Bringing patients into that loop seems to open a different pathway for interve

Patient-Facing HeartLogic Alerts Lowered Hospitalizations in Heart Failure: The NOTIFY-HF Trial

@lucreciamburgos @DrMarwanRefaat Really exciting space. Detecting congestion earlier is clearly where things are heading.

In NOTIFY-HF, we explored a complementary angle: what happens when that signal is shared directly with patients in a structured way.

it's not just detection… but who acts on it, and how.

@CardiologyToday @ACCinTouch Patient-facing alerts cut HF hospitalizations by 65% in NOTIFY-HF. Reducing clinician burden while improving outcomes is exactly the innovation we need. Well done to the team. 👏👏

@eberly_lauren @KhandelwalMD @PennMedicine @SecKennedy @NMHheartdoc Congratulations on an excellent study and presentation! Looking forward to reading the paper

@zaidheartsci @CardiologyToday @ACCinTouch Thank you!

⚠️ NOTIFY-HF at #ACC26 ⚠️

Smartphone notifications that alerted patients first, rather than their physicians, of early heart failure decompensation were feasible and safe.

We can detect worsening heart failure weeks before symptoms. But the signal stops with the clinician.

At #ACC26, NOTIFY-HF tested patient-facing HeartLogic alerts
Feasible, scalable, ↓ alert burden
Signal:↓ hospitalizations, ↓NT-proBNP, ↑6MWT, ↑KCCQ12

Detection ≠ action.

Presenting NOTIFY-HF at #ACC26 this Sunday (LBCT Featured Clinical Research) @accintouch

Heart failure deterioration isn’t abrupt. There’s a detectable window before symptoms.

We can see it.
Patients usually can’t.
What if they could?

@Chucknally This was me 5km from a petrol station after my wife swapped cars so I could fill up petrol for her

@Chucknally You just got to yolo

@bhavdip143 Hopefully this isn't another false start

@JohnDragons16 @FOXNRL Yeah. He took a big chunk out of our salary cap 👃🏾
