ABSTRACT
Background:
Patient engagement with remote blood pressure monitoring during pregnancy is critical to optimize the associated benefits of blood pressure control and early detection.
Objective:
The goal of this study was to compare patient engagement and adherence to RBPM between connected and unconnected BP device users from a prospective pregnancy cohort.
Methods:
We compared patient engagement with and adherence to remote patient blood pressure monitoring between patients who received a connected and unconnected blood pressure device.
Results:
Patients with connected devices entered more blood pressure entries and had higher adherence to the remote monitoring protocols compared to patients with unconnected devices.
Conclusions:
In our study population of pregnant people, we found that “connected” blood pressure cuffs, which automatically sync measures to a monitoring platform or health record, increased adherence to remote monitoring protocols when compared to “unconnected” cuffs that require manual entry of measures.
