The primary aim of this pilot is to test whether delivery of high quality monitoring, treatment and education for the ACHD or pulmonary hypertension patient is feasible via interactive television and infrared microdevices. Secondary aims of this pilot are to test the hypothesis that intensified home monitoring and guidance for patients of this target group will lead to reduced ACHD related hospitalization and to evaluate the overall attitude of the patients and clinicians towards the use of new technologies such as ITV in healthcare and disease management.
