Blood pressure dynamics during home blood pressure monitoring with a digital blood pressure coach-a prospective analysis of individual user data.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Self-monitoring of blood pressure at home is a better predictor of prognosis and recommended in hypertension guidelines. However, the influence of baseline blood pressure category and measurement schedule on BP values during a period of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) are still poorly defined, particularly when used in conjunction with a digital application.

Methods

We analysed temporal BP changes and performed BP classification tracking in users with self-reported hypertension performing HBPM with a digital and interactive blood pressure coach.

Results

Of 3175 users who enrolled in HBPM, 74.1% completed the first measurement period. Overall, mean systolic BP dropped significantly after the first day, but stratification by BP category demonstrated t
