In this monocentric observational study the research question is to what extent data collected via Apple Watch can predict the heart failure status of decompensated HF patients. For this purpose, physiological data from the Apple Watch (such as single-lead electrocardiogram, SpO2, respiratory rate, step count, nighttime temperature, etc.) will be extracted and used as predictor variables to forecast outcomes like risk of decompensation and rehospitalization within the follow-up period. Since this is a data-driven study, additional data collected as part of guideline-compliant treatment will also be included.
