The Impact of Synchronous Telehealth Services With a Digital Platform on Day-by-Day Home Blood Pressure Variability in Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases: Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is associated with a large global disease burden with variable control rates across different regions and races. Telehealth has recently emerged as a health care strategy for managing chronic diseases, but there are few reports regarding the effects of synchronous telehealth services on home blood pressure (BP) control and variability.

Objective

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of synchronous telehealth services with a digital platform on home BP.

Methods

This retrospective study was conducted by the Taiwan ELEctroHEALTH study group at the Telehealth Center of the National Taiwan University Hospital. We analyzed home BP data taken from 2888 patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) enrolled in our telehealth program bet
