INTRODUCTION
The HEALS Med-Tech program offers a unique blend of lifestyle changes and technology to improve hypertension (HTN) management in African Americans (AAs), a group disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease (CVD).Methods: A randomized controlled trial compared HEALS Med-Tech against usual care for uncontrolled hypertension in AAs, focusing on diet, medication adherence, and telehealth.
RESULTS
In a study of 61 participants, HEALS Med-Tech significantly reduced systolic blood pressure by 12.95 mm Hg ( = 0.008) and 9.19 mm Hg ( = 0.013) at 3 and 12 months, respectively, demonstrating improved hypertension control.
CONCLUSIONS
HEALS Med-Tech demonstrates potential in HTN management for AAs, advocating for culturally tailored, tech-integrated healthcare expansion.
引言
HEALS医疗技术项目提供了生活方式改变与技术的独特结合，以改善非裔美国人（AA）的高血压（HTN）管理，这一群体受心血管疾病（CVD）影响的比例过高。
方法
一项随机对照试验将HEALS医疗技术与非裔美国人未控制高血压的常规护理进行比较，重点关注饮食、药物依从性和远程医疗。
结果
在一项对61名参与者的研究中，HEALS医疗技术在3个月和12个月时分别显著降低收缩压12.95毫米汞柱（P = 0.008）和9.19毫米汞柱（P = 0.013），表明高血压控制得到改善。
结论
HEALS医疗技术在非裔美国人的高血压管理中显示出潜力，倡导进行文化定制、技术整合的医疗保健扩展。
