Digital Biometrics in Predicting Risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypertension: Decentralized, Prospective Cohort Study

Digital Biometrics in Predicting Risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypertension: Decentralized, Prospective Cohort Study

Twenty years of research associates OSA and hypertension in a dose-dependent manner, with OSA predicting the development of new-onset hypertension [9]. In addition to hypertension, OSA is associated with atrial fibrillation, coronary heart disease, stroke, and increased mortality [10-13]. Second, hypertension is a well-known major risk factor for the development of CVD and carries substantial importance for cardiovascular-related outcomes.

The Impact of Digital Intervention Messages Targeting Users With High Blood Pressure Events: Retrospective Real-World Study

The Impact of Digital Intervention Messages Targeting Users With High Blood Pressure Events: Retrospective Real-World Study

Hypertension has been diagnosed in approximately 1.4 billion (31%) adults aged 30 to 79 years worldwide [3] and 108 million adults in the United States [4]. The prevalence of hypertension is rising globally owing to the aging of the population and an increase in the exposure to lifestyle risk factors [3] such as an unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle [5].

Evaluating the Clinical Effectiveness and Patient Experience of a Large Language Model–Based Digital Tool for Home-Based Blood Pressure Management: Mixed Methods Study

Evaluating the Clinical Effectiveness and Patient Experience of a Large Language Model–Based Digital Tool for Home-Based Blood Pressure Management: Mixed Methods Study

According to the American Heart Association, high blood pressure, called hypertension, is defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥130 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥80 mm Hg that remains elevated across time [1]. Hypertension affects over 1.2 billion people worldwide [2] and, in the last decades, the number of people with hypertension has doubled [3]. Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and heart failure, stroke, and chronic kidney disease [4].

Providers’ Perspective on the Feasibility of Digital Self-Management of Blood Pressure in Refugees: Mixed Methods Study

Providers’ Perspective on the Feasibility of Digital Self-Management of Blood Pressure in Refugees: Mixed Methods Study

Hypertension holds global significance as one of the most important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Almost one-third of the global population is diagnosed with hypertension [1], which causes 7.5 million deaths annually, and its increasing prevalence has led to greater morbidity for the global population from its sequelae, such as heart disease [2,3].

Interpretable Machine Learning Model for Predicting and Assessing the Risk of Diabetic Nephropathy: Prediction Model Study

Interpretable Machine Learning Model for Predicting and Assessing the Risk of Diabetic Nephropathy: Prediction Model Study

Diabetic nephropathy (DN), severe microvascular complications of diabetes, primarily manifests as proteinuria, hypertension, and a progressive decline in renal function, potentially leading to end-stage renal disease.

The Effect of Electroacupuncture on Microcirculation in Patients With Hypertension and Cognitive Impairment: Protocol for a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

The Effect of Electroacupuncture on Microcirculation in Patients With Hypertension and Cognitive Impairment: Protocol for a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Hypertension is an independent and significant contributor to cognitive impairment; it increases the risk of MCI by 1.62 times. From 2007 to 2011, the prevalence of hypertension with MCI (HTMCI) was 16.5% [3]; meanwhile, a meta-analysis published in 2023 showed that the overall prevalence of HTMCI in China was 37.6% [4]. Evidence suggests that hypertension can increase the risk of cognitive-related diseases, such as Alzheimer disease (AD) and vascular dementia [5].

Implementation of a Digital Health Intervention (CHAMP) for Self-Monitoring of Hypertension: Protocol for 3 Interlinked Implementation Studies

Implementation of a Digital Health Intervention (CHAMP) for Self-Monitoring of Hypertension: Protocol for 3 Interlinked Implementation Studies

Hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease worldwide [1]. It is estimated that hypertension affects approximately 31% of the global adult population [2] and a similar proportion of people in Singapore, an island state in Southeast Asia [3]. Despite this high prevalence, approximately half of those affected are unaware of their condition [3,4].

Clinical Decision Support Systems Using Home Blood Pressure Readings to Manage Patients With Hypertension: Scoping Review

Clinical Decision Support Systems Using Home Blood Pressure Readings to Manage Patients With Hypertension: Scoping Review

Self-monitoring of diseases with support from patients’ health care providers is crucial in managing many chronic conditions and their risk factors, such as hypertension [1-3]. International guidelines on hypertension recommend self-monitoring of home blood pressure (HBP) for diagnosing and monitoring of hypertension because self-monitoring is widely accessible, cost-effective, and easy to use [4].

Daily Dietary Sodium Intake Among Clinical Trial Participants Recruited From a University Health System or a Federally Qualified Health Center: Secondary Analysis of Baseline Participant Characteristics

Daily Dietary Sodium Intake Among Clinical Trial Participants Recruited From a University Health System or a Federally Qualified Health Center: Secondary Analysis of Baseline Participant Characteristics

For instance, these factors have been linked to dietary sodium intake [4-11], a major contributor to hypertension and cardiovascular disease development [12,13]. However, concentrating solely on these broad participant characteristics of underrepresented groups may overlook the influence of community-level differences on health outcomes, as women, Black individuals, or older patients from one community may differ from those of similar backgrounds in another.

Exploring User Behavior, Profiles, and Generation of Missed Reading Alerts in Long-Term Users of a Technology-Enabled Intervention for Self-Monitoring of Blood Pressure in Public Primary Care Setting in Singapore: Longitudinal Observational Study

Exploring User Behavior, Profiles, and Generation of Missed Reading Alerts in Long-Term Users of a Technology-Enabled Intervention for Self-Monitoring of Blood Pressure in Public Primary Care Setting in Singapore: Longitudinal Observational Study

This study would address this gap with the use case of patients with hypertension within the Primary Technology Enhanced Care for Hypertension Program (PTEC-HT) in Singapore [8]. PTEC-HT was developed to integrate telehealth solutions for hypertension management, emphasizing remote blood pressure (BP) monitoring, care team support through remote monitoring and follow-up teleconsultations, and medication adjustments based on clinical guidelines.
