Early use of remote dielectric sensing after hospitalization to reduce heart failure readmissions

Anuradha Lala et al.

Summary: Utilizing remote dielectric sensing (ReDS) to measure lung water volume and adjust medication may help reduce 30 day readmission rates in patients after hospitalization for HF. The study showed that patients who underwent ReDS assessment had significantly lower rates of cardiovascular readmission within 30 days compared to those without, suggesting a potential benefit of ReDS-guided therapy in HF management.
