For many patients with HF and CRC, self-management following hospitalization can be a challenge, and they may leave the hospital unprepared for self-managing their disease at home. The randomized controlled trial with NCD patients from two medical hospitals in Norway. Patients will be recruited before hospital discharge. The intervention group will participate in a 42-day nurse-assisted intervention ""eHealth@ Hospital-2-Home"". The intervention includes monitoring of patients' vital signs, self-reports of symptoms, health and well-being, communication between the patients and a Nurse Navigator in the hospital, and access to information about illness and health resources. The control group will receive care as usual. Data collection will take place before the intervention (baseline), at the end of the intervention (post-1), and 6 months after baseline (post-2).
