Hypertension (HTN) is the most common chronic disease impacting over half the US adult population. Our current office-based model of care is failing in its ability to control blood pressure (BP) as only 44% of adult US hypertensives are achieving minimal levels of BP control (< 140/90 mmHg), leading to high rates of preventable cardiovascular events and death.
Reengineering care delivery using a fully digital platform combined with a dedicated team-based approach to HTN management has demonstrated superior BP control rates, very high levels patient acceptance, and the ability to better diagnose and treat masked and white coat HTN.
A digital medicine program in the clinical care setting can be an effective and convenient mechanism of delivering HTN management, outperforming traditional office-based care, and is well accepted by patients.
高血压（HTN）是最常见的慢性疾病，影响了超过一半的美国成年人口。我们目前的基于办公室的医疗模式在控制血压（BP）方面失败了，因为只有 44%的美国成年高血压患者达到了最低的血压控制水平（<140/90mmHg），导致了高比例的可预防心血管事件和死亡。
使用完全数字化平台和专门的团队管理方法来重新设计医疗服务，已经证明了在控制血压方面具有更高的效率，非常高的患者接受度，以及更好地诊断和治疗隐蔽性和白大衣高血压的能力。
临床环境中的数字医疗方案可以成为一种有效和方便的高血压管理手段，优于传统的基于办公室的医疗，并且深受患者欢迎。
