OBJECTIVE: To engage Ugandan HF patients and clinicians regarding their experiences with HF management and technology, so as to inform the future design of a digital health intervention for HF patients in Uganda. Qualitative analysis revealed four clusters of themes: overdependence of patients on the clinic, inconvenience associated with attending the clinic, inconsistent patient self-care behaviours at home, and technological abilities that favoured USSD-based services. With the goal of informing a future digital health intervention for use in Uganda, we engaged Ugandan HF patients and clinicians regarding their experiences with HF management and mobile phone technology. Qualitative analysis identified an overdependence of patients on the clinic, an inconvenience associated with clinic visits, inconsistent patient self-care behaviours at home, and technological abilities that favoured USSD-based services.	./cache/cord-352399-2xfzpw9m.txt	./txt/cord-352399-2xfzpw9m.txt
