Key result
Interactive digital interventions significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (WMD -3.74 mmHg; 95% CI -2.19 to -2.58) and diastolic blood pressure compared to usual care in adults with hypertension.
Why the study?
Do interactive digital interventions reduce blood pressure in adults with hypertension compared to usual care?

Do interactive digital interventions reduce blood pressure in adults with hypertension compared to usual care?
Effect estimate: WMD -3.74 mmHg (SBP) (95% CI -2.19 to -2.58)
Interactive digital interventions for self-management significantly lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adults with hypertension.

Supports integration of interactive digital interventions into hypertension care; confirms BP-lowering efficacy versus usual care in Level 1 evidence.
McLean et al. (2016) conducted a meta-analysis in Hypertension. Interactive digital interventions (IDIs) vs. Usual care was evaluated on Change in SBP and DBP (WMD -3.74 mmHg (SBP), 95% CI -2.19 to -2.58). Interactive digital interventions significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (WMD -3.74 mmHg; 95% CI -2.19 to -2.58) and diastolic blood pressure compared to usual care in adults with hypertension.
