Key result
Interventional decentralized BP telemonitoring effectively optimizes and maintains long-term BP control in hypertensive patients.
Why the study?
A detailed definition of parameters, alarm conditions, intervention algorithms, cost efficiency, and feasibility of interventional decentralised telemonitoring (idTM) is required to identify its areas of indication.
Interventional decentralised telemonitoring requires detailed definitions of parameters, alarm conditions, and intervention algorithms to ensure medical quality and cost efficiency.
idTBPM may support hypertension therapy optimization in defined settings; leaves open the need for prospective cost-effectiveness trials before wider use.
Telemedicine comprises different methods of bridging a spatial distance between doctor, medical and care services and patients. These include mere data transmissions as well as alarm functionalities, consultations and therapy recommendations. A special form of telemedicine application is the interventional decentralised telemonitoring (idTM). Here the patient-practitioner relationship forms the basis for therapy control and optimisation using telemetrical medical data. To identify areas of indication of idTM, a detailed definition of transferred parameters, alarm conditions and intervention algorithms is required as a well as cost efficiency and feasibility studies. The quality of the telemedical application is determined by the medical quality of the derived actions.

Schulz et al. (2015) conducted a review in Arterial hypertension. Interventional decentralised blood pressure telemonitoring (idTBPM) was evaluated. Interventional decentralised blood pressure telemonitoring is an effective tool for optimizing blood pressure control and maintaining optimized levels over long periods in patients with hypertension.
