Mobile healthcare platforms reduced systolic blood pressure by an average of 5 mmHg compared to no platform use among rural Senegalese elderly patients with hypertension.
Does a mobile healthcare platform reduce systolic blood pressure in rural Senegalese elderly?
The use of mobile healthcare platforms significantly reduces systolic blood pressure among elderly patients in rural Senegal.
Estimación del efecto: Mean difference -5 mmHg (95% CI -10 to -0.2 mmHg)
Tasa de eventos absoluta: -5% vs 0%
Rural areas in Senegal often face challenges in accessing healthcare services, particularly for chronic conditions such as hypertension. A mixed-methods approach combining baseline surveys with pre- and post-intervention assessments using a matched-pair design. Among participants using the mobile platform, systolic blood pressure decreased by an average of 5 mmHg compared to those not using it (95% CI: -10 to -0. 2 mmHg). Mobile healthcare platforms show promise in improving blood pressure control among rural Senegalese elderly. Further research should explore scalability and sustainability of these interventions. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
Traoré et al. (Tue,) conducted a other in Elderly rural Senegalese patients with hypertension. Mobile healthcare platform vs. No use of mobile healthcare platform was evaluated on Change in systolic blood pressure (Mean difference -5 mmHg, 95% CI -10 to -0.2 mmHg). Mobile healthcare platforms reduced systolic blood pressure by an average of 5 mmHg compared to no platform use among rural Senegalese elderly patients with hypertension.
