Telemonitoring kombiniert mit individueller telemedizinischer Beratung bei Hypertonikern mit antihypertensiver Therapie und unerwünschten Blutdruckschwankungen // Telemonitoring combined with individualized telemedical care for hypertensive patients Journal für Hypertonie - Austrian Journal of Hypertension 2025; 29 (1): 6-10 Volltext (PDF) Summary Praxisrelevanz Abbildungen Keywords: Hospital@Home, Hypertonie, Sicherheit, Telemedizin, Telemonitoring, hypertension, safety, telemedicine Background: Telemonitoring enables real-time detection and management of changes in vital signs. This study aimed to evaluate whether telemonitoring combined with telemedical care stabilizes blood pressure levels and improves the perceived safety of hypertensive patients. Methods: For six months, hypertensive patients with adverse blood pressure fluctuations participated in home telemonitoring, supported by a telemedicine center available daily. Primary care physicians defined threshold values and interventions in an action protocol. Outcomes were analyzed using blood pressure data and Patient Reported Outcome Measurements. Results: The blood pressure decreased significantly from 135/84 mmHg to 129/80 mmHg. The threshold violations dropped by 70%: systolic from 64 to 19 occurrences per month, and diastolic from 81 to 24. 129 medical phone consultations were conducted, by 37 reserve medication was recommended, 6 led to physician visits, and 3 required emergency care. 55% of patients rated their safety at the highest level, and the satisfaction scores ranged from 8 to 10 out of 10. All participants (100%) would recommend the telemonitoring service. Conclusion: Telemedical care reduces adverse blood pressure fluctuations and enhances safety for hypertensive patients. Effective collaboration among healthcare providers is vital. Telemedicine complements traditional methods and supports continuous care.
Kurzfassung: Hintergrund: Telemonitoring ermöglicht die Echtzeiterkennung und sofortige Behandlung von Veränderungen der Vitaldaten. Ziel war es zu untersuchen, ob und wie Telemonitoring
in Kombination mit telemedizinischer Betreuung zu
einer Stabilisierung der Blutdruckwerte führt und die
gefühlte Sicherheit bei Hypertonikern beeinflusst. |
