What is it about?
This work aims to assess how EHealth interventions-based self-care affect heart failure patients' health-related quality of life. For this aim, a quasi-experimental design was used in the Al-Quwayiyah General Hospital's outpatient clinic in Al-Quwayiyah City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study's patient population's degree of knowledge, self-care, and health-related quality of life had all considerably improved thanks to EHealth interventions-based self-care.

Why is it important?
eHealth interventions prepare patients for the period after hospital discharge, strengthen their self-care and QoL, reduce readmissions, and help them to recover well.
Perspectives
We expect the study to have a clinical impact for future telerehabilitation of patients with heart failure that helps increase the quality of life of patients with heart failure and educate Saudi patients to perform individualized monitoring in order to detect worsening of their own symptoms, thereby avoiding rehospitalization.
