Prevalence and correlates of use of digital technology for managing hypertension among older adults

Wei Xuan Lai et al.

Summary: This study assessed the prevalence and correlates of using digital technology for managing hypertension among older adults in Singapore. The study found that only 7.1% of older adults with hypertension used digital technology for managing hypertension, and there was no association between the use of digital technology and hypertension control. Although users of digital technology had slightly lower blood pressure values, the differences were not statistically significant.

Maria V. Manzi et al.

Summary: The second half of the last century was characterized by intense research in the field of arterial hypertension and related therapies. The studies showed that the management of arterial hypertension requires a robust coordination with close integration of the health care systems and health care professionals. By setting up the Campania Salute Network, clinical data sharing and cooperation between the coordinating center and peripheral units have improved the control of blood pressure and reduced hypertension mediated organ damage and cardiovascular events. Additionally, the network serves as a powerful tool for clinical research and may play a crucial role in the future transformation of arterial hypertension management with the help of artificial intelligence.
