Overview
Home blood pressure telemonitoring allows patients to take their blood pressure, store the data, and then transmit it electro-nically to a healthcare provider. Data is immediately available to the doctor, who can recommend changes in treatment based on blood pressure measurements taken. Research to date shows that home blood pressure telemonitoring leads to a greater reduction in blood pressure and improved hypertension control compared to standard treatment. It also improves patient compliance and possibly also leads to a reduction in cardiovascular events. The wider use of blood pressure telemonitoring is currently hampered by the relatively high cost of blood pressure telemonitoring devices.
