Why the study?
Less than a third of hypertensive patients achieve blood pressure control, despite hypertension being a major public health problem.
Does an SMS-based home blood pressure telemonitoring system reduce blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
Does an SMS-based home blood pressure telemonitoring system reduce blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
A 4-week SMS-based home blood pressure telemonitoring intervention significantly reduced diastolic blood pressure, but not systolic blood pressure, in primary care patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
SMS telemonitoring did not significantly reduce systolic BP; does not support adoption and leaves open efficacy in larger trials.
Calderón-Anyosa et al. (2023) studied this question.
