The Impact of Mobile Application-Supported Monitoring on Treatment Compliance and Success in Lifestyle Changes in Hypertensive Patients

Doctoral Thesis Study

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Hypertension (HT) is defined as an arterial blood pressure persistently exceeding 140/90 mmHg in repeated measurements. It is a systemic disease characterized by chronically elevated blood pressure, which can lead to severe health complications. Despite advancements in screening, diagnosis, and treatment methods, hypertension remains a leading risk factor for mortality and disability in both developed and developing countries. Globally, approximately 1.3 billion individuals are living with hypertension. It is projected that within the next two decades, hypertension will become the most significant modifiable risk factor for non-communicable diseases. International guidelines recommend ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and/or home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) for the diagnosis of hypertension. It has been demonstrated that home and/or ambulatory blood pressure measurements provide superior prognostic information regarding target organ damage and cardiovascular risk compared to clinic-based measurements. Nevertheless, both ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring have several well-known limitations, including patient comfort, sleep disturbance, accessibility, and cost. The use of various mobile technologies has been evaluated in different settings to improve hypertension management in primary care services. Mobile monitoring can lead to significant reductions in blood pressure (BP), decrease all-cause and hypertension-related hospitalizations, lower all-cause mortality and costs, and enhance quality of life. Furthermore, technology-assisted BP self-monitoring interventions have demonstrated superior BP control outcomes when combined with nurse-led mobile support, physician intervention, and medication review. This research, grounded in the integration of digital health technologies into nursing care, aims to enhance treatment adherence and the success of lifestyle modifications in hypertensive patients through mobile application-supported monitoring. Through this approach, the patient-nurse interaction will be strengthened, and self-management skills will be supported via personalized feedback.
