Self-Health Monitoring by Smart Devices and Ontology Technology for Older Adults With Uncontrolled Hypertension: Quasi-Experimental Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is a prevalent concern among older adults, often leading to complex cardiovascular complications when uncontrolled. Telenursing technology facilitates self-management, and the integration of domain-specific ontology allows real-time interpretation of behavioral and biometric data to provide personalized recommendations, enhancing patient engagement and self-care.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the within-group and between-group effects of self-health monitoring using smart devices combined with ontology technology on hypertension-controlling behavior and mean arterial pressure among older adults with uncontrolled hypertension.

Methods

The quasi-experimental design was conducted with 91 older adults in Bangkok, Thailand (46 experimental a
