Why the study?
Do digital technologies for blood pressure control (such as HBPM, wearables, and telemedicine) lower blood pressure in adults?

The Japanese Society of Hypertension strongly recommends home blood pressure measurement using an upper arm cuff sphygmomanometer, especially combined with telemonitoring or healthcare provider support, to lower blood pressure in adults.
Supports incorporating cuff-based home BP monitoring into hypertension care; reinforces Level 1 guideline recommendations for adults.

Arima et al. (2026) conducted a meta-analysis in Hypertension (n=21,053). Home blood pressure measurement (HBPM) using a cuff sphygmomanometer vs. Usual care was evaluated on Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) (Mean difference -3.27 mmHg, 95% CI -4.15 to -2.40). Home blood pressure measurement using a cuff sphygmomanometer significantly reduced systolic blood pressure by 3.27 mmHg compared to usual care in adults.
