February 2023
Despite being a public health problem, less than a third of hypertensive patients manage to control blood pressure (BP). In this paper, we conducted a two-arm randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of an SMS-based home BP telemonitoring system compared to usual care in patients with uncontrolled hypertension from a primary care center. This study was conducted between April and August 2018.

- This study investigated how reading augmented reality (AR) books affects salivary cortisol levels in hospitalized kids aged 7-11, comparing it to reading traditional children's books.
- The trial involved 29 children and found that while cortisol levels decreased after reading AR books, the reduction was not significantly greater than that seen after reading standard books. VAS scores for psychological stress increased after the AR intervention.
- Findings suggest the need for more research, as the initial results showed no advantage of AR books over standard ones in lowering cortisol levels, though there was a noted increase in psychological stress scores with AR.*
