Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial focused on digital literacy in chronic heart failure patients and measured hospitalizations and mortality — can you tell me what they found, and whether improving digital skills actually made a difference in those outcomes?
2Since this study is already completed, has the data been published or presented anywhere, and if so, what does it suggest about how well heart failure patients can manage their condition using digital tools?
3Given that this trial looked at digital literacy specifically, do you think my own comfort level with technology would affect how well I could benefit from any digital health tools or remote monitoring programs you might recommend for my heart failure care?
4Are there any digital education programs or tech-based support tools for heart failure management that you're already using in your practice, based on evidence like this kind of study?
5If I struggle with digital tools or don't have reliable internet access, are there alternative approaches to managing chronic heart failure that would be just as effective for me?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
