Effect of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Using a Smartphone-Connected Device and Lifestyle on Blood Pressure Control
SMART-Home BP Study
Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Using a Smartphone-Connected Device Combined with Lifestyle Counseling for Workers with Elevated Blood Pressure: A Randomized Controlled Trial
SMART-WORK BP Trial
| Japan |
Eligible participants are workers who were identified as having elevated blood pressure at routine workplace health checkups
| Cardiology | Adult |
Others
NO
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of smartphone-connected home blood pressure monitoring and guideline-based hypertension management in improving lifestyle behaviors, lowering blood pressure, and increasing antihypertensive medication use among workers with hypertension detected at workplace health checkups.
Efficacy
Change in blood pressure from baseline (pre-intervention workplace health checkup) to the annual workplace health checkup in the year after the intervention

| Device,equipment | Behavior,custom |
Workers with a systolic blood pressure of >=140 mmHg and/or a diastolic blood pressure of >=90 mmHg at routine workplace health checkups were allocated to either an intervention group or a control group using stratified randomization based on sex, age, and systolic blood pressure level.
Participants assigned to the intervention group performed home blood pressure monitoring using a smartphone application-connected, communication-enabled blood pressure device twice daily (after waking and before bedtime) for 14 consecutive days, followed by initial lifestyle counseling based on a hypertension management plan using the home blood pressure results; home blood pressure was re-evaluated and additional counseling was provided three months later.
Participants in the control group did not receive home blood pressure monitoring; instead, they received initial lifestyle counseling based on blood pressure measured at the workplace health checkup according to the hypertension management plan, followed by re-evaluation using casual blood pressure measurement and additional counseling three months later.

In the intervention group, significant reductions were observed in SBP (-7.5 mmHg; 95% CI, 2.0-13.0; p=0.010), DBP (-4.6 mmHg; 95% CI, 0.5-8.6; p=0.028), body weight (-1.2 kg; 95% CI, 0.2-2.2; p=0.021), and HbA1c (-0.1%; 95% CI, 0.02-0.2; p=0.020). No significant changes were observed in the control group. There were no significant between-group differences in waist circumference, lipid profiles, estimated salt intake, or medication use.
