Heart failure daily zones
Green, yellow and red zones, each with a shape and a word, and each ending in one action with the button to take it.
Daily self-check with a body map. For James, 67: heart failure, home from the hospital, daughter helps by phone (illustrative).
Opens in a new tab. A concept demo, not medical advice.
What it shows
- A daily weight trend that catches fluid build-up early
- A body map and a word list that say the same thing
- Zones with a shape and a word, never color alone
- A one-tap summary for the caregiver
Try it
- Enter a weight up 3 pounds since yesterday
- Tap a symptom on the body map
- Send the summary to a caregiver
How HealthLiteracyCopilot would build it
- Zone thresholds would come from the care team's protocol, never from AI
- Checked with an adapted PEMAT rubric and the CDC Clear Communication Index
- Simulated readers (simulated participants, not patients) asked "Your weight went up 3 pounds. What do you do?"
Draws on: Create · Assess · Behavior change
Why the techniques work
Findings about the techniques, not results of this concept or of HealthLiteracyCopilot.
Techniques
- Heart failure zone tools
- Pictures and words together
- Not color alone (WCAG 1.4.1)
Behavior change techniques
- Self-monitoring of outcomes of behavior
- Action planning
- Habit formation
Relevant pictures paired with plain words can help attention, comprehension and recall, especially for people with limited literacy.
Guardrails
- It does not diagnose: the zone follows the care team's own action plan and numbers
- Red always means call 911
- Every output has a complete text and print fallback
Questions
Is this something HealthLiteracyCopilot does today?
Not as shown here. HealthLiteracyCopilot reviews written health content for plain language and accessibility today. These concept demos show where it is going: the same review discipline carried into interactive, audio, video and voice formats. Organizations can help shape it as design partners.
Is this a remote monitoring device?
No. It is education: it shows a person the action plan their care team already gave them. It does not send readings to anyone unless the person chooses to share a summary.
