Evaluating a Smartphone App to Monitor Blood Pressure in Normotensive Pregnancies, High-Risk Pregnancies, and Women With Preeclampsia: Prospective Longitudinal Feasibility Study

The Anura app is well accepted by pregnant women and supported them to take an active role in their own health care. Agreement with manual BP measurements was acceptable in normotensive pregnancies but lower in high-risk and preeclamptic pregnancies. These findings indicate potential for Anura as a complementary self-monitoring tool. Further development is needed to improve the app's accuracy in high-risk groups before broader implementation can be recommended.

Abstract

The Anura app is well accepted by pregnant women and supported them to take an active role in their own health care. Agreement with manual BP measurements was acceptable in normotensive pregnancies but lower in high-risk and preeclamptic pregnancies. These findings indicate potential for Anura as a complementary self-monitoring tool. Further development is needed to improve the app's accuracy in high-risk groups before broader implementation can be recommended.
