Overview
Brief Summary
Aim of the study was to investigate a new clinical medical system for treatment of hypertension with a clinical decision system,a smartphone patient app and a home blood pressure monitor.
Detailed Description
Despite the extensive knowledge of the importance of treating and thus preventing complications of hypertension, the incidence of high blood pressure is increasing, and it is still the main cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death, partly due to deficiencies in preventive care and control of the disease in an aging world. Blood pressure values obtained by self-measurement at home (HBPM) have been shown to predict the cardiovascular prognosis equally well as or better than blood pressure values obtained in the clinic (CBPM) in several observational studies. Aim of the present study was to investigate a new clinical medical system for treatment of hypertension with a clinical decision system and a electronic health record, a patient app and a home blood pressure monitor. " The patient app and the doctor's record reflect each other and basically contain the same information. Doctors can treat their patients remotely and the patients are able to manage some health issues by themselves by using the applications. Some patients need the physical examination. We therefore included patients after a so-called triage step with medical questions.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Changes in mean home blood pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressure mmHg) during the trial using automatic oscillometric blood pressure monitor
Time Frame: 3 months
We investigate if the blood pressure is better in the end of the study compared with the start
Patient experience
Time Frame: 3 months
We investigate how the patients experience the medical technology system and the treatment using a questionnaire
Secondary Outcomes
- Hypotension(3 months)
