Blood pressure
Home blood pressure measurements have proven to be reliable and can be used in clinical pharmaceutical trials. With the help of the service, the blood pressure measurements of a large number of patients can be monitored cost-effectively. The service is thus well suited for research use and can also be utilized by healthcare professionals in improving the therapeutic control of blood pressure patients and to strengthen the doctor-patient relationship.
In this example, patients in a blood pressure study are asked about their blood pressure values once a week. Patients can respond easily with their own mobile phone.

In this example, the service generates a graph according to the development of the patient’s systolic and diastolic blood pressure values measured at home. The same graph also shows the level of the patient's values compared to the target range. If the target range is repeatedly exceeded, the service sends a text message instructing the patient to take corrective action. |
