The Role of Telemedicine in Improving Hypertension Management Outcomes: A Systematic Review. Cureus 2024; 16:e74090.

Abstract
Telehealth has been proven to be effective in a variety of healthcare settings and has enhanced patient utilization of healthcare services. Little is known about the use of telehealth in the treatment of hypertension. This study aimed to categorize and identify data related to various telehealth technologies and intervention types used in the management of hypertension. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were used to search the literature based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. These databases contained 1,483 relevant articles, which were screened for duplication using Endnote software. After a careful full-text article evaluation, only 42 of these articles were found to be relevant. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the risk of bias in each included study. The majority of studies (23.8%) were conducted in urban areas (33.3%), were from the United States, and used a quantitative study approach (69%), according to the proportions of studies displaying different patterns over the past 10 years. Telemonitoring and teleconsultation are the two most used telehealth techniques for managing hypertension. Asynchronous telehealth is quickly becoming the most popular technique for controlling hypertension. In hypertension management, telehealth refers to the use of communication technologies to remotely monitor and regulate blood pressure as well as offer medical advice and counseling.

How Is Telehealth Currently Being Utilized to Help in Hypertension Management within Primary Healthcare Settings? A Scoping Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2024; 21:90. [PMID: 38248553 PMCID: PMC10815916 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph21010090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Telehealth has improved patient access to healthcare services and has been shown to have a positive impact in various healthcare settings. In any case, little is understood regarding the utilization of telehealth in hypertension management in primary healthcare (PHC) settings. This study aimed to identify and classify information about the types of interventions and types of telehealth technology in hypertension management in primary healthcare. A scoping review based on PRISMA-ScR was used in this study. We searched for articles in four databases: Pubmed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Embase in English. The selected articles were published in 2013-2023. The data were extracted, categorized, and analyzed using thematic analysis. There were 1142 articles identified and 42 articles included in this study. Regarding the proportions of studies showing varying trends in the last ten years, most studies came from the United States (US) (23.8%), were conducted in urban locations (33.3%), and had a quantitative study approach (69%). Telehealth interventions in hypertension management are dominated by telemonitoring followed by teleconsultation. Asynchronous telehealth is becoming the most widely used technology in managing hypertension in primary care settings. Telehealth in primary care hypertension management involves the use of telecommunications technology to monitor and manage blood pressure and provide medical advice and counselling remotely.
