HSmartBPM: A modular web platform for tailored management of hypertension

Abstract

Hypertension is a serious disorder which contributes to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. However, digital health systems dealing with the complexity of long-term hypertension self-management and remote medical management have been scarce. HSmartBPM provides a modular web platform for tailored management of hypertension. The HSmartBPM components include a virtual agent for patient guidance, a Decision Support System (DSS) for individualized monitoring of health parameters, risk prediction for cardiovascular disease, and shared care plan activities for patient treatment, contributing to a personalized approach for the therapeutic management of hypertension. Overall, the HSmartBPM solution aims to assist both patients and healthcare professionals with the everyday management of hypertension through the provision of an intelligent and tailored system.
