A mobile app for DASH diet education significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (144.65 vs 161.09 mmHg, p=0.0001) compared to usual care in patients with hypertension.

Q: What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: RCT. Population: Essential hypertension (n=88). Intervention: Mobile app for DASH diet education based on self-efficacy vs. Usual health care. Primary outcome: Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) at 12 weeks (p=0.0001).

Why the study?

Failure to adhere to drug therapy in patients with high blood pressure can endanger their lives, prompting evaluation of a smartphone-based medication reminder application.

Does a mobile phone education application based on self-efficacy and the DASH diet improve blood pressure and self-efficacy in patients with hypertension?

Population

78 patients with essential hypertension

Comparison

Smartphone medication reminder application (DaroYab 2.1.0) vs routine care

Design

Clinical trial study

Follow-up

3 months

Key result

A mobile app for DASH diet education significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (144.65 vs 161.09 mmHg, p=0.0001) compared to usual care in patients with hypertension.

Overview

App may boost adherence in hypertension; leaves open need for larger trials on clinical outcomes.

Study Design

Type

RCT (n=88)

Randomization

Computer-generated random numbers

Structured PICO

Does a mobile phone education application based on self-efficacy and the DASH diet improve blood pressure and self-efficacy in patients with hypertension?

Population

88 overweight or obese adults aged 30 to 69 years with established hypertension on anti-hypertensive medication, followed for 12 weeks.

Intervention

Android-based offline mobile application providing DASH diet recommendations based on self-efficacy, including short educational videos and weekly reminders via text/calls, plus usual health-related recommendations, for 12 weeks.

Comparator

Usual health-related recommendations in a public health care center for 12 weeks.

Outcome

Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, self-efficacy, and adherence to the DASH diet at 12 weeks.surrogate

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 144.65% vs 161.09%

p-value: p=0.0001

A smartphone-based educational application focusing on the DASH diet and self-efficacy significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Limitations

Small sample size
Did not consider differences between ethnicities
Failure to measure the metabolic profile
Application was designed only for Android devices
Included only people in Khuzestan province, limiting generalizability

Heidari et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Essential hypertension (n=88). Mobile app for DASH diet education based on self-efficacy vs. Usual health care was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) at 12 weeks (p=0.0001). A mobile app for DASH diet education significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (144.65 vs 161.09 mmHg, p=0.0001) compared to usual care in patients with hypertension.
