ABSTRACT
The management of hypertension (HT) still remains to be challenging for clinicians because majority of patients with HT are asymptomatic, the awareness for the lifestyle modifications that are considered to be important in both primary and secondary prevention remains low and long-term adherence to hypertensive medications is suboptimal. Digital health applications are increasingly being implemented in the management of HT. These include wearable devices that are capable of performing continuous blood pressure measurement, use of telemonitoring systems and implementation of web or smartphone based interactive applications in addition to the behavioral therapies. However, we are still in the beginning of an era which inherently poses important limitations.
Keywords: Hypertension; digital health; mobile applications; telemonitoring
