Abstract

Home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPTM) with automatic data capturing and its transfer enables us to effectively monitor a patient´s blood pressure measurements at home environment, to eliminate transcription errors and, in combination with physical activity monitoring, to check a patient´s taking the recommended time 5 min to rest before BP measurements. The data of 35 patients with essential hypertension using Diani telemonitoring system were used to evaluate the suitability of using activity trackers to monitor patients´ step counts before and during the BP measurements. Two datasets (scheduled measurements and daytime profile ones) were processed separately and compared. The majority (83.6%) of data were indicating zero steps before BP measurements with no significant difference either between scheduled measurements and daytime profile ones or between men and women. Standards for the limit of acceptable step counts in a defined time window before each BP measurement could be set when larger datasets are available.
