A comparative study of blood pressure submission between mobilec app users and non-users in Romania: a pilot cohort study

This pilot study suggests that Romanian patients are more likely to engage with mobile health technologies for hypertension management compared to traditional care approaches. The use of telemonitoring devices was associated with greater adherence to vital sign reporting. However, limitations such as small sample size, potential self-selection bias, and lack of randomization must be considered. Further research with larger, randomized control trials and extended follow-up is necessary to validate these findings. Empowering patients through eHealth solutions, alongside clinician support, may help mitigate the burden of cardiovascular diseases in Romania.

Abstract

This pilot study suggests that Romanian patients are more likely to engage with mobile health technologies for hypertension management compared to traditional care approaches. The use of telemonitoring devices was associated with greater adherence to vital sign reporting. However, limitations such as small sample size, potential self-selection bias, and lack of randomization must be considered. Further research with larger, randomized control trials and extended follow-up is necessary to validate these findings. Empowering patients through eHealth solutions, alongside clinician support, may help mitigate the burden of cardiovascular diseases in Romania.
