Abstract

Background: The mobile health (mHealth) application has been used for treating hypertension. However, its effectiveness in enhancing adherence and clinical outcomes in hypertensive patients remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to determine the impact of mHealth apps on medication adherence and reduced blood pressure among hypertensive patients. Method: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials published in Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect from 2008 to 2022 was conducted. Bibliographies of eligible articles were further reviewed. Result: A total of 289 articles were identified, and 24 articles were qualified for inclusion. The mHealth apps improved either medication adherence or reduced blood pressure in seven studies (29%). Eleven studies (46%) showed that it could both increase medication adherence and lower blood pressure significantly. Six studies (25%) reported no improvement in both outcomes. Conclusion: There is a piece of evidence that mHealth apps can improve medication adherence and accordingly reduce blood pressure.

移动健康应用对改善药物依从性和高血压管理的影响:随机试验的系统回顾

背景:移动健康(mHealth)应用程序已被用于治疗高血压。然而，它在提高高血压患者的依从性和临床结果方面的有效性仍然有限。目的:本研究旨在确定移动健康应用程序对高血压患者药物依从性和降低血压的影响。方法:系统回顾2008 - 2022年在Scopus、PubMed和ScienceDirect上发表的随机对照试验。进一步审查符合条件的文章的参考书目。结果:共鉴定出289篇文献，符合纳入条件的文献24篇。在七项研究(29%)中，移动健康应用程序改善了药物依从性或降低了血压。11项研究(46%)表明，它既能提高服药依从性，又能显著降低血压。6项研究(25%)报告两种结果均无改善。结论:有证据表明，移动健康应用程序可以提高药物依从性，从而降低血压。
