Do text messaging interventions improve blood pressure control in patients with hypertension?
Weekly one-way text messaging is an effective and resource-efficient intervention for improving blood pressure control in hypertensive patients.
This review found that a text messaging intervention was effective in BP control. One-way text messaging delivered in a weekly manner was suggested to be effective and required fewer resources. Future studies should use different forms of text message and be integrated into other interventions to improve adherence behaviors and BP control among patients with hypertension.
