Internet-based digital intervention to support the self-management of hypertension compared to usual care: results of the HALCYON randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is a major public health problem. Despite existing treatment options, overall blood pressure control is still insufficient. Digital health interventions have the potential to improve treatment success. We developed liebria, an internet-based digital intervention accessible via smartphones and computers, designed to support the self-management of hypertension.

Methods

We tested the effectiveness of liebria in reducing systolic blood pressure and improving other relevant endpoints in adults with hypertension using a parallel randomized controlled trial design. Adults with hypertension (mean age 54.5 years, 47.1% male) were recruited via a German health insurance provider and randomized (1:1; concealed allocation; no blinding of participants) to receive
