Key result
m-Health reminder systems boost medication adherence and lower blood pressure in hypertension.
Why the study?
The effectiveness of m-Health reminder management systems for monitoring patients with hypertension was not well established.
Does an m-Health reminder management system improve adherence and clinical outcomes in patients with hypertension?
Systematic Review
Does an m-Health reminder management system improve adherence and clinical outcomes in patients with hypertension?
m-Health reminder systems appear to improve short-term medication adherence and blood pressure control in hypertensive patients, though long-term efficacy and cost-effectiveness remain unclear.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports m-Health reminders in hypertension care; extends adherence and BP evidence while leaving long-term efficacy open.
Information technology can be a medium for improving consumer health care. Since the development of industry 4.0, mobile phones have become an important tool for monitoring health interventions. The purpose of this review was to assess the effectiveness of an m-Health reminder management system for patients with hypertension. The review identified fifteen related studies following the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, in PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest, Sage, EBSCO, and Scopus, limited to the last 5 years, 2015 to 2020. Fifteen articles were involved in the review. Mobile phones are used as a tool for monitoring physical activity, healthy diets, education, blood pressure monitoring, symptoms and activating notifications (Reminder Management System) as a lifestyle monitoring tool every day. m-Health makes it easy for consumers to management hypertension. There should be further research related to the lifestyle monitoring of patients with hypertension.

Setyorini et al. (2020) conducted a systematic review in Hypertension. m-Health reminder management system (mobile applications, SMS, telephone) vs. Standard care or alternative m-Health delivery method was evaluated on Treatment adherence and clinical improvement (blood pressure). m-Health reminder management systems, including mobile applications and SMS, demonstrated a positive impact on medication adherence and blood pressure reduction in patients with hypertension.
