Blood pressure apps and digital tools
Digital technology is changing many parts of life, medicine included. Here we look at some of these new digital options.
According to the guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology and the European Society of Hypertension for treating high blood pressure, telemonitoring and apps like Tensana offer benefits. The patient guideline on high blood pressure from the ÄZQ also recommends using digital offerings.
Classification can, of course, sometimes be difficult. Consumer automatic blood pressure monitors also work digitally, but that's not what we mean here. The smartwatches that use pulse wave analysis do count, though. Blood pressure watches are then a kind of mixture of the two. We've included them here anyway.
