Purpose:
Hypertensive patients with access to telemedicine can receive telemonitoring of blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, diet, and remote supervision of treatment compliance. Faced with this challenge, electronic devices for telemonitoring of BP have gained space. They have shown to be effective in the follow-up of hypertensive patients and assist in the adherence and control of associated risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity.
Materials And Methods:
Narrative Review.
Results:
The use of advanced smartwatches, smartphone apps, and online software for monitoring physical activity is increasingly common. Electronic equipment is briefly presented here as a support for better addressing some cardiovascular variables. Using various automated feedback services with a follow-up multidisciplinary clinical team is the ideal strategy.
Conclusion:
Mobile health can improve risk factors and health status, particularly for hypertensive patients, improving access to cardiac rehabilitation and reducing the cost.
