Self-measurement of blood pressure has become widespread in recent years. It may be defined as the measurement of arterial pressure by a conscious and free-willed subject. Self-measurement must remain a medical procedure, which means that doctors should be able to advise their patients (a) on the type of apparatus they should purchase and get validated at regular intervals; (b) on the method of using the apparatus in practice, and (c) on the circumstances, conditions and numbers of measurements to be performed. Doctors must remain responsible for the interpretation of the results obtained and for the diagnostic, pronostic an therapeutic applications of the method. Self-measurement of blood pressure naturally has advantages and disadvantages, but it must be noted that it may offer an alternative to hospitalization or to ambulatory arterial pressure measurement, avoid excessive or defective therapies and improve the patient's compliance with his treatment.

Many patients with diabetes use self-measurement devices for blood glucose to understand their blood glucose levels. Most of these devices utilize FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) to determine blood glucose levels. For this purpose, FAD-GDHs specifically oxidizing glucose among the sugars present in blood is required.

The effect of self-measurement of blood pressure (BP) at home (home BP measurement, HBPM) has been evaluated over the past decade. This meta-analysis included the latest studies to determine whether HBPM reduced BP (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023442225). PubMed, Cochrane Library Database, and IchuShi-Web were searched for randomized controlled trials after the year 2000 which demonstrated the effect of HBPM on BP change compared with usual care (UC).
