Key result
The Yan Fu mobile health application significantly reduced systolic blood pressure compared to the control group (-8.99 vs -5.92 mm Hg) and improved blood pressure control rates at 6 months.
Why the study?
Mobile health applications are used to manage hypertension, but evidence regarding their effectiveness is limited.

Mobile health applications can effectively improve blood pressure control and medication adherence in patients with primary hypertension.
Gong et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Primary hypertension (n=480). Yan Fu app vs. No m-Health apps (usual care) was evaluated on Mean change in systolic blood pressure at 6 months (p=0.00). The Yan Fu mobile health application significantly reduced systolic blood pressure compared to the control group (-8.99 vs -5.92 mm Hg) and improved blood pressure control rates at 6 months.
