Hypothesis
The review aims to highlight the benefits of advanced wearable devices for monitoring blood pressure and managing hypertension.
Conclusion
Wearable devices provide continuous, user-friendly, and accurate blood pressure tracking, but must adhere to specific protocols for accuracy.
Supporting Evidence
- Over 1.28 billion adults worldwide suffer from high blood pressure.
- Advanced wearable devices allow for continuous monitoring of blood pressure.
- Traditional methods of measuring blood pressure are being supplanted by wearable technology.
Takeaway
Wearable devices can help people check their blood pressure anytime, making it easier to stay healthy, but they need to be used correctly to work well.
Methodology
The study involved a systematic review of literature from PubMed and Scopus databases using specific keywords related to wearable devices and hypertension.
Potential Biases
Potential bias due to reliance on self-reported data and the exclusion of non-English articles.
Limitations
The accuracy of wearable devices can be affected by various factors, including user adherence to protocols and environmental conditions.
Participant Demographics
The review included studies involving adults with hypertension, particularly in low- and middle-income regions.
