Self-Monitoring of Blood Pressure and Feed-back Using APP in TReatment of UnconTrolled Hypertension (SMART-BP): A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Self-monitoring of blood pressure (SMBP) is a reliable method used to assess BP accurately. However, patients do not often know how to respond to the measured BP value. We developed a mobile application-based feed-back algorithm (SMBP-App) for tailored recommendations. In this study, we aim to evaluate whether SMBP-App is superior to SMBP alone in terms of BP reduction and drug adherence improvement in patients with hypertension.

Methods

Self-Monitoring of blood pressure and Feed-back using APP in TReatment of UnconTrolled Hypertension (SMART-BP) is a prospective, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy of SMBP-App compared with SMBP alone. Patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension will be randomly assigned to the
