Key result

mHealth interventions improve hypertension management by enhancing patient engagement, but long-term effectiveness data remain limited.

Why the study?

Mobile health interventions are promising for hypertension management, but a comprehensive mapping of existing literature on their implementation, effectiveness, and health outcomes is needed.

What is the breadth of literature on mHealth interventions for hypertension management regarding implementation, effectiveness, and health outcomes?

Implication

Supports mHealth for hypertension engagement now; leaves open long-term effectiveness requiring prospective trials.

Key Points

  • The central aim is to map existing literature on mHealth interventions for hypertension management, focusing on implementation and effectiveness.
  • Systematic literature search in databases like PubMed and Scopus.
  • Use of grey literature to enhance findings.
  • Two-phase screening for study inclusion.
  • Evaluation of study quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
  • Data extraction covering intervention types and outcomes.
  • Identification of various mHealth interventions for blood pressure control.
  • Assessment of key implementation outcomes like feasibility and adoption.
  • Highlighting research gaps, such as the need for more long-term studies.
  • Evaluation of patient adherence and engagement with interventions.
