Is a telemonitoring system for blood pressure acceptable and feasible for guiding treatment in patients with chronic kidney disease?
Telemonitoring of blood pressure is highly acceptable to patients with chronic kidney disease and yields sufficient data to potentially guide antihypertensive therapy.
Warner et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Chronic kidney disease (n=25). Blood pressure telemonitoring system was evaluated on Proportion of patients providing at least 90% of expected blood pressure data over 3 months. A blood pressure telemonitoring system was feasible and acceptable for patients with chronic kidney disease, with 52% of participants providing over 90% of expected readings over 3 months.
