Abstract
The study aims to determine the effectiveness of a digital smart care model for patients with Systemic Hypertension (SH) compared to traditional care methods. Conducted from January 2022 to December 2024 in Moscow, Russia, the study involved 3 medical organizations and 800 participants randomly divided into 2 groups: 1 utilizing the digital smart care model and a control group following traditional care methods. Patients were surveyed using the SF-36 and EQ-5D questionnaires, along with patient satisfaction surveys and physician satisfaction assessments. The study revealed a statistically significant improvement in health indicators for the group using the digital smart care model compared to traditional methods. Specifically, average blood pressure levels decreased by 10% in the digital care model group, while patient satisfaction increased by 15%. These results indicate the effectiveness of the digital smart care model in enhancing the health and satisfaction of patients with SH. In conclusion, this highlights the potential of digital technologies in medical practice to improve care quality and enhance treatment outcomes for patients with SH.
