The Digital Heart Health Lab is looking for students to help with Spanish version of a digital intervention for heart failure. We have developed a digital intervention called sensor-controlled digital game (SCDG) that uses sensors to drive game play based on real-life behaviors for improving HF self-care behaviors . The primary goal of this study is to culturally adapt our SCDG prototype for improving heart failure self-care behaviors among Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults with HF.
