Primary Technology-Enhanced Care for Hypertension Scaling Program: Trial-Based Economic Evaluation Examining Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness Using Real-World Data in Singapore.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Telehealth interventions are effective in hypertension management. However, the cost-effectiveness of using them for managing patients with hypertension remains inconclusive. Further research is required to understand the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in the real-world setting.

Objective

The Primary Technology-Enhanced Care for Hypertension (PTEC-HT) scaling program, a telehealth intervention for hypertension management, is currently being scaled nationwide in Singapore. The program comprises remote blood pressure (BP) monitoring at home, health care team support through teleconsultations, and in-app support with a digital chatbot. This study aimed to evaluate the program's effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.

Methods

For patients under the PTEC-HT
