Article Synopsis
- The 2019 Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension by the Japanese Society for Hypertension suggest lifestyle changes for all except those with normal blood pressure, but lack concrete methods to improve blood pressure management.
- CureApp HT, a digital tool for hypertension management, received approval for reimbursement in Japan and aims to enhance communication between physicians and patients while overcoming clinical inertia.
- A study showed that after using CureApp HT, physician-patient communication improved significantly over six months, leading to better patient knowledge and attitudes about hypertension, as well as a higher number of physicians setting more ambitious blood pressure targets.
