Abstract
Background: Patient engagement with remote blood pressure monitoring during pregnancy is critical to optimize the associated benefits of blood pressure control and early detection. Objective: The goal of this study was to compare patient engagement and adherence to RBPM between connected and unconnected BP device users from a prospective pregnancy cohort. Methods: We compared patient engagement with and adherence to remote patient blood pressure monitoring between patients who received a connected and unconnected blood pressure device. Results: Patients with connected devices entered more blood pressure entries and had higher adherence to the remote monitoring protocols compared to patients with unconnected devices. Conclusions: In our study population of pregnant people, we found that “connected” blood pressure cuffs, which automatically sync measures to a monitoring platform or health record, increased adherence to remote monitoring protocols when compared to “unconnected” cuffs that require manual entry of measures.
期刊介绍:
JMIR mHealth and uHealth (JMU, ISSN 2291-5222) is a spin-off journal of JMIR, the leading eHealth journal (Impact Factor 2016: 5.175). JMIR mHealth and uHealth is indexed in PubMed, PubMed Central, and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), and in June 2017 received a stunning inaugural Impact Factor of 4.636.
The journal focusses on health and biomedical applications in mobile and tablet computing, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, wearable computing and domotics.
JMIR mHealth and uHealth publishes since 2013 and was the first mhealth journal in Pubmed. It publishes even faster and has a broader scope with including papers which are more technical or more formative/developmental than what would be published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
