ABSTRACT

Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease and an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and heart failure. About 1/4 of the elderly worldwide suffer from hypertension. The number of hypertensive patients in China has reached 245 million, with approximately 1.7 million new cases occurring each year. This study was based on wearable devices and established a blood pressure health management platform for the elderly. By measuring indicators such as blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation, the health status of the elderly was monitored in real-time, and the risk factors for hypertension and their cognitive level of the disease were analyzed. The comparison of the management effects of wearable devices and conventional health management on elderly hypertension through randomized controlled trials showed that in terms of blood pressure control, the intervention group and the control group had an increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to baseline, with values of 1.45±13.74mmHg (intervention group) and 6.14±12.56mmHg (control group), respectively. The experimental results showed that wearable devices could control the diastolic and systolic blood pressure of patients to a certain extent in the hypertension management system, effectively monitor and warn the elderly of hypertension, and provide health management services to prevent hypertension for the elderly.
