Is remote blood pressure monitoring and management a better approach for patients with hypertension? A narrative review

Abstract

Abstract Hypertension is a global public health problem which affects the physical and mental health of individuals. The management of hypertension is a long‐term process that requires the cooperation of both doctors and patients, and the blood pressure variability is closely related to the clinical prognosis. In recent years, the development of telemedicine has promoted better blood pressure monitoring and management for patients, as well as better medical intervention and health education for patients by medical staff. This article provides a review of remote blood pressure monitoring and management.
