Heart failure is a cardiovascular disease that poses a serious health risk to the global population and is characterised by a chronic and prolonged disease course. Effective management centered on home care is essential for controlling symptoms and improving patient prognosis. Electronic health (e-health) technology is one of the hotspots in the research field of home management of heart failure, with the advantage of overcoming temporal and spatial barriers, and can achieve continuous monitoring, intelligent assessment, and dynamic management of the health status of patients at home. This paper systematically sorts out the related research on e-health in home management of patients with heart failure, and discusses its application value in drug management, exercise rehabilitation, symptom management, risk profile, and other aspects of patients with heart failure. It also analyzes and prospects the limitations of the e-health system such as poor digital inclusion, imperfect operation system, and risk of data security. The purpose of this study is to provide reference for the innovation of home management model for patients with heart failure.
