The programme was co-designed by clinicians, academics, patients and caregivers in the UK to help increase participation in rehabilitation therapies for heart failure patients by bringing care into their own homes. The five year study received £2million in grant funding from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) under its Programme Grants for Applied Research programme with significant contributions from five NHS hospitals (Cornwall, Gwent, Birmingham, York and Dundee) and three leading UK universities (the universities of Exeter, Birmingham and York) along with input from the Heart Manual Department, NHS Lothian. The research has been supported by the Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care South West Peninsular (PenCLAHRC)
