Blood Pressure Apps and Digital Tools
Digital technology is changing many areas of life, and medicine is no exception. Here we look at some of these new digital options.
According to the guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology and the European Society of Hypertension for treating arterial hypertension, telemonitoring and apps like BloodPressureDB offer advantages. The ÄZQ patient guideline on high blood pressure also recommends using digital services.
Classification can sometimes be difficult, of course. The standard automatic blood pressure monitors you can buy also work digitally, but that's not what we mean here. The smartwatches that use pulse wave analysis do count, though. Blood-pressure watches are a kind of hybrid between the two. We've included them here anyway.
