Monitoring at home yields better blood pressure control

People with high blood pressure are more likely to get it under control if they record blood pressure readings at home and share the data with their healthcare provider. At-home monitoring gives providers a better sense of patients’ true blood pressure readings, leading to more customized treatment and better hypertension control. Combining at-home readings with traditional provider care saves money by reducing medications and doctor and emergency department visits.
