New research shows that using an app system to track self-measured blood pressure is not more efficient than standard methods.

While researching the effectiveness of various methods for reducing systolic blood pressure, a recent JAMA Network study found that an enhanced smartphone app method was not more efficient than standard self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) methods.

These findings come as healthcare experts work to better understand how they can use mHealth apps for patient engagement and disease management.

According to this most recent assessment of nearly 2,100 patients across patients23 different health systems within the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet), the researchers found that app-based blood pressure monitoring is much more effective than standard care.
