Development of a Blood Pressure Monitoring Mobile Application for Enhanced Hypertension Management

Patients with hypertension face difficulties with manual data logging, leading to reporting biases and errors, which hinder timely diagnosis and treatment adjustments. Many clinics rely on manual logs, affecting measurement accuracy and data consistency. There is a need for a convenient, reliable, and secure digital solution to facilitate consistent blood pressure monitoring, improve data accuracy, and support informed medical decision-making.

A healthcare organization or medical device company aiming to improve patient blood pressure monitoring and data management through a user-friendly mobile app integrated with medical devices.

• Develop a mobile application that enables accurate recording, management, and visualization of blood pressure measurements.
• Integrate Bluetooth connectivity with electronic blood pressure monitors for automated data capture, reducing human errors.
• Allow manual entry of measurements when automated recording is unavailable.
• Create intuitive visualizations of health data, including trend graphs, to assist users and healthcare providers in understanding health dynamics.
• Implement secure data sharing capabilities with healthcare professionals to facilitate timely treatment decisions.
• Design an accessible interface suitable for users of all age groups, emphasizing usability and readability.

• Manual blood pressure data entry and editing capabilities.
• Automated data capture via Bluetooth connection to electronic blood pressure monitors.
• Secure storage of measurement history with easy access and retrieval.
• Trend visualization through graphs to depict health dynamics over time.
• Data sharing functionality allowing users to securely send measurements to healthcare providers.
• Onboarding process guiding new users, with accessible design considerations (e.g., readable fonts).

• Bluetooth protocols for connectivity with electronic blood pressure monitors
• Secure data transfer mechanisms to ensure patient data confidentiality

• High data security and privacy compliance (e.g., HIPAA or equivalent standards)
• Reliable Bluetooth connectivity with minimal data loss
• App responsiveness and performance on a range of device specifications
• User interface accessibility features to support elderly users
• Scalability to accommodate increasing user base without performance degradation

The implementation of this blood pressure monitoring app is expected to streamline data collection and enhance measurement accuracy, reducing errors associated with manual logs. Automated recording improves data reliability, supporting timely and informed medical interventions. By facilitating regular monitoring and easy data sharing, the project aims to promote patient adherence, leading to better hypertension control, a reduction in stroke and heart attack risks, and overall improvements in health outcomes. Additionally, improved data accuracy and patient engagement can lower healthcare costs through early detection and management.
