Our findings identified a need to focus on improving the dyadic experience as a whole by building IC functionality into digital health self-management interventions. Through a shared model of care that supports the role of the patient in their own HF management, includes ICs to expand and enhance the patient's capacity to care, and acknowledges the need of ICs to care for themselves, we anticipate improved outcomes for both partners.
