Supports combined physician-patient technology interventions for hypertension in primary care; extends evidence favoring dual-targeted over patient-only approaches.
Systematic Review (n=12)
Do technology-enabled interventions improve blood pressure control in individuals with hypertension in primary care settings?
Technology-enabled interventions for hypertension self-management are most effective when they target both patients and physicians.
Chandak et al. (2015) conducted a systematic review in Hypertension (n=12). Technology-enabled interventions (telemonitoring, education, telemedicine) with or without physician intervention vs. Patient-only interventions was evaluated on Proportion of subjects with BP control and change in mean SBP and DBP. Combined physician and patient technology-enabled interventions improved blood pressure control and reduced mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure more effectively than patient-only interventions.
