Pediatric heart disease patients often face challenges as they move from youth to adult care. TRANSFORM HF member Dr. Sahr Wali and youth patient champion Amelia Mahlenbrei Watford are working to change that. The pair has been awarded a Pride in Patient Engagement in Research (PiPER) program grant to advance this work, with a focus on Chameleon – the team’s mobile phone-based educational care companion that offers personalized medication tracking, regular health check-ins, and lifestyle reminders. The goal? To empower youth, improve care continuity, and make transitions smoother and more successful.

At TRANSFORM HF, we require the help of people with lived experience (PWLE) to plan the best research projects, test new technologies, and explore how heart failure care can and should be improved. However, it isn’t always a straightforward process for researchers looking to involve patient partners in their research projects or for PWLE who would like to be engaged. We reflect on how our Foundations course is helping to bridge the gap.
