iHealth Labs: Study Shows Active Participation in iHealth’s Unified Care Program Results Improved Health Outcomes for Patients with Stage 2 Hypertension
iHealth Labs, a digital health management provider, presented a study at the American Heart Association which examined the effectiveness of a digital health program to improve blood pressure (BP) in patients with stage 2 hypertension. The study was conducted in partnership with researchers from the UC Irvine Institute for Future Health and the Stanford Prevention Research Center. The study found patients had a steady reduction of BP levels over the 24-month study period, with the most significant improvement happening within the first six months. Average patient BP had decreased by 12.5/6.9 mmHg after six months, 13.1/7.5 mmHg after 12 months, and 14.1/8.0 mmHg after 24 months in the program.
