Over half of patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure achieved controlled blood pressure measurements after participating in a remote digital monitoring program, according to new research to be presented at the American Heart Association's Hypertension Scientific Sessions 2023, held Sept. 7-10, 2023, in Boston.
Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc.Sep 7 2023 The meeting is the premier scientific exchange focused on recent advances in basic and clinical research on high blood pressure and its relationship to cardiac and kidney disease, stroke, obesity and genetics.
Patients were provided with a digital phone app available in both English and Spanish that prompted them to provide their BP readings -; either daily or weekly, based on clinicians' advice -; and other blood pressure-related information with clinical staff at their community health clinic.
Researchers analyzed the starting and ending blood pressure measurements of patients who participated in the program for at least 90 days. In this study, the researchers considered blood pressure under 140/90 mmHg, the threshold for stage 2 hypertension, to be controlled. "We were surprised that more than 50% of participants in the program were able to attain blood pressure control. These results indicate combining the remote digital monitoring capabilities of the app with feedback from clinicians can improve rates of blood pressure control in a real-world, at-risk population, without increasing the overall cost of care," Yermilov said.
