No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
eHealth program was associated with SBP reduction in Bangladesh cohort; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm efficacy.
Nohara et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Non-communicable diseases (n=16,741). eHealth checkup and telemedical intervention vs. Baseline (pre-intervention) was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure at 1 year (MD -5 mmHg, p=<.001). An eHealth checkup and telemedical intervention program significantly reduced average systolic blood pressure from 121 mmHg to 116 mmHg after one year among 2,361 participants in Bangladesh.
