Key result
An integrated ICT-based system (POST) improved office blood pressure control at 6 months compared to routine management (72.3% vs 40.0%).
Why the study?
Does an integrated ICT-based system (POST) improve blood pressure control in treated hypertensive patients with uncontrolled office BP?
RCT (n=690)

Yes
Does an integrated ICT-based system (POST) improve blood pressure control in treated hypertensive patients with uncontrolled office BP?
Absolute Event Rate: 72.3% vs 40%
An integrated ICT and mobile health approach significantly improves blood pressure control in patients with previously uncontrolled hypertension compared to routine office-based management.

May support ICT-based BP management in cohorts; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Albini et al. (2016) conducted an RCT in Uncontrolled hypertension (n=690). Integrated ICT-based Patients Optimal Strategy for Treatment (POST) system vs. Routine management based on repeated office visits was evaluated on Office BP control (<149/90 mmHg). An integrated ICT-based system (POST) improved office blood pressure control at 6 months compared to routine management (72.3% vs 40.0%).
