The goal of this clinical trial investigation with device is to determinate the effectiveness of remote monitoring of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction heart (EFS40%) using Caaring® software. The main question it aims to answer is if the development of a self-management platform (Caaring®) that enhances the role of the patient with heart failure in the course of their disease will reduce the number of re-entries. For this, researchers will compare the assessments between the two groups. This is a randomized study with two arms. Online telemonitoring group: The follow-up of these patients will be carried out prospectively remotely through the Caaring® platform. And Prospective Control group: The data of these patients are collected prospectively for their routine medical visits for 12 weeks after their inclusion. In addition, Control group patients must have clinical data from the 12 weeks after to their inclusion date available in the Medical Record, and/or through the monitoring platforms of the continuous monitoring devices. Participants with heart failure will continue to receive conventional care and must have sufficient technological skills to use a smartphone.
This is a longitudinal, comparative non-inferiority, multicenter, with 2 arms Medical Device Clinical Trial. The protocol and informed consent documents have been reviewed and approved by the hospital human subjects reviewboard and the study will be performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.

Caaring is an electronic data collection notebook that allows patients to confidentially fill out data/ questionnaires on their mobile phone and report them through an application that will be installed on the patient's mobile phone. Besides, This group (G\_CAARING) will receive educational and prevention recommendations relative to Heart Faillure.

Changas in the patient's MEDAS scale: Adherence to Mediterranean Diet
Changes in patient's scale MEDAS (Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener) scores at week 4 and at the end of the study compared to baseline. Values: 0-14, a higher score reflects a better adherence to the Mediterranean Diet.
Time frame: Day 0, Week 12
Changes in the patient's Clinical Data
Changes in patient's Clinical data (symptoms related to heart failure) measured through a specific form created for this purpose.
Time frame: Day O, every 3 days up to Week 12
Patient satisfaction with the software Caaring
The patient satisfaction will be measured through a specific satisfaction questionnaire created for this purpose. (Value 3-15). A higher score reflects greater satisfaction with software care.
