The principle of hardware selection for remote blood pressure monitoring devices is incorrectly described as open transmission.
Telemedicine is a medical model that has emerged with the development of modern mobile communication technology, healthcare technology and information technology, which transmits medical and health data between doctors and patients over long distances with the help of modern network technology and advanced communication equipment to achieve remote monitoring, remote diagnosis, remote health education and other purposes.
Active blood pressure monitoring is a method of applying an ambulatory blood pressure recorder to measure the patient's blood pressure value within 24 hours at certain intervals, which is receiving more and more attention in the field of clinical diagnosis and treatment of hypertension and scientific research. With the development of telemedicine, remote ambulatory blood pressure monitoring has become possible and will play an increasingly important role in the community management and prevention of hypertension in China.
Hypertension is the most common chronic non-communicable disease and the most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which can cause a variety of complications in the heart, brain, kidney and other organs. In recent years, the prevalence of hypertension in China has been on the rise, and in 2012, the prevalence of hypertension among adults in China reached 25.2%, but the rates of hypertension awareness, treatment, and control were only 46.5%, 41.1%, and 13.8%, respectively.
In 2010, there were 2,043,000 deaths due to hypertension in China, accounting for 24.6% of all deaths, which has caused a heavy health and economic burden in China.4 Hypertension is a preventable and controllable disease. Effective intervention against risk factors and improvement of knowledge, treatment and control rates can effectively reduce blood pressure levels in the population, thereby curbing the growth of morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke, which is of great significance in improving the health of the population in China and reducing the burden of disease in the society.
