Key result
Cellular-enabled remote BP monitoring linked to better BP control and transmission reliability versus Bluetooth.
Why the study?
Guidelines emphasize home BP monitoring and multidisciplinary care in resistant hypertension, but evidence regarding optimal device selection for remote BP monitoring is limited.
Does a multidisciplinary remote blood pressure monitoring program using cellular-enabled monitors improve BP control and data transmission reliability in patients with resistant hypertension?
Observational

Does a multidisciplinary remote blood pressure monitoring program using cellular-enabled monitors improve BP control and data transmission reliability in patients with resistant hypertension?
Multidisciplinary remote blood pressure monitoring programs using cellular-enabled devices improve BP control and offer better data transmission reliability than Bluetooth devices in patients with resistant hypertension.
Feasibility of integrated RBPM shown in resistant hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
BACKGROUND: Current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines emphasize home blood pressure (BP) monitoring, shared decision-making, self-management interventions, and multidisciplinary care as key strategies for improving outcomes in patients with resistant hypertension (RH). However, evidence regarding optimal device selection for remote blood pressure monitoring (RBPM) is limited. PROJECT RATIONALE: We incorporated these strategies into our RBPM program at a specialized RH clinic to evaluate their impact on BP control, medication adherence, and patient satisfaction. In addition, we prospectively compared data transmission reliability between cellular-enabled and Bluetooth-enabled BP monitors. PROJECT SUMMARY: Patients with RH were enrolled in our 3-month RBPM program, which resulted in meaningful systolic BP changes, high medication adherence, and favorable patient satisfaction. Furthermore, cellular-enabled BP monitors outperformed their Bluetooth-enabled counterparts in data transmission reliability. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Multidisciplinary RBPM programs deploying cellular-enabled BP monitors effectively improve BP control, promote medication adherence, and contribute to high patient satisfaction.

Trinh et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Resistant hypertension. Cellular-enabled BP monitors vs. Bluetooth-enabled BP monitors was evaluated on Data transmission reliability. A 3-month remote blood pressure monitoring program using cellular-enabled monitors improved BP control and outperformed Bluetooth monitors in data transmission reliability.
