Here's another vote for less screen time. bloodpressure
Here's another vote for less screen time. Using a smartphone application to track blood pressure won't lead to any greater reduction in BP than self-monitoring the old-fashioned way, a new study finds.
After 6 months of follow-up for each patient, mean BP reduction from baseline in the standard group was 10.6 mm Hg, compared with 10.7 mm Hg in the enhanced group, a nonsignificant difference . While slightly more patients in the enhanced group achieved a BP lower than 140/90 mm Hg , this trend did not extend below the 130/80 mm Hg threshold.
Making a similar remark, Matthew Jung, MD, of Keck Medicine of USC, Los Angeles, stated that the findings can be"reasonably extrapolated" to other BP-tracking apps with similar functionality"if we put aside the study's issues with power." To this end, he and his colleagues are exploring technologies to passively monitor health-related measurements like BP, potentially sidestepping the pitfall of active engagement.
