Efficiency of remote monitoring and guidance in blood pressure management: a randomized controlled trial : The role of remote monitoring in improving hypertension management.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Regular monitoring of blood pressure (BP) is essential for managing hypertension. The long-term effectiveness of remote monitoring in BP control requires further validation. Although self-monitoring has some benefits, its overall effectiveness remains inconclusive. In this study, we aimed to compare whether remote monitoring and self-monitoring differ from usual care in terms of their effects on BP reduction in patients with hypertension.

Methods

This multicentre randomised controlled trial enrolled participants diagnosed with primary hypertension in Qingdao, China, from December 2020 to December 2021. Patients were randomly assigned to one of the following three groups: remote monitoring, self-monitoring, or usual care. All groups underwent scheduled outpatient f
