NEJM Catalyst: Closing Hypertension Equity Gaps Through Digitally Inclusive Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has been shown to support adults with treated but uncontrolled hypertension (HTN) outside the clinic setting, yielding significant benefits in the treatment and control of blood pressure (BP). Despite its proven efficacy and recommendation as guideline-concordant care, adoption of RPM is suboptimal, particularly among marginalized populations, who face structural barriers to HTN control. A barrier to equitable adoption among marginalized populations is the lack of digital inclusivity in the design and deployment of RPM.
