New Technology Helps You Treat High Blood Pressure from Home

New technologies are being developed with the potential to make a range of medical tasks quicker and cheaper, and researchers are paying attention.

They’re getting better at making sure that tech not only collects new data, but puts that data to use to improve care.

Blood pressure monitors you can use at home have been available for years, but in a recent study, researchers used Bluetooth-enabled home monitors to send blood pressure readings from patients with high blood pressure to a person trained to analyze them.

Medical personnel can then adjust blood pressure medications accordingly.

Using this system, researchers said, 81 percent of the patients were able to bring their blood pressure under control in, on average, seven weeks.

It was a small, initial study, but this new setup could be one step toward combating the widespread problem of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension.
