Direct Method
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Cardiovascular Disease Management
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure - HBP) is a chronic condition requiring regular monitoring.
  • Traditional at-home blood pressure (BP) monitoring faces challenges like missed measurements, transcription errors, and delayed alerts for critical values.
  • There is a need for improved tools to facilitate accurate and timely self-management of HBP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate TensioBot, a Telegram-based chatbot designed to assist patients with home-based BP self-measurement.
  • To assess the impact of TensioBot on patient adherence, knowledge, and skills related to BP monitoring best practices.
  • To explore the usability and user satisfaction of a chatbot for in-house BP control.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 112 patients with HBP was conducted over two years.
  • Participants were divided into two groups: 55 using TensioBot and 57 in a control group.
  • TensioBot provided reminders, best practice advice, measurement tracking, and medical alerts, with data accessible to healthcare professionals.

Main Results:

  • The TensioBot group demonstrated similar adherence to the BP checking schedule compared to the control group.
  • Bot users exhibited significantly better knowledge and skills regarding BP checking best practices.
  • Participants reported highly positive feedback, finding TensioBot useful, easy to use, and continuing its use post-intervention.

Conclusions:

  • TensioBot effectively enhances patient knowledge and skills in self-managed in-house blood pressure control.
  • The chatbot offers a positive user experience, proving useful and easy to operate for HBP patients.
  • Chatbot technology presents benefits for both patients and healthcare systems in managing chronic conditions like hypertension.
