Background Chronic noncommunicable diseases such as arterial hypertension have a high impact in the context of public health. Previous studies have shown improvements in blood pressure due to simple lifestyle changes, which were supported by electronic health (eHealth) solutions. Objective The aim of this study is to develop an eHealth platform and assess the effects of its use on the health conditions of patients with hypertension, with assistance from health professionals in the public health system of a Brazilian city. Methods The platform will include a server that centralizes all the data and business rules, a website dashboard for health professionals, and a mobile app for patients. We will analyze the effects of its use through a controlled, nonrandomized, nonblind, prospective, monocentric clinical trial. We will enroll 68 participants diagnosed with arterial hypertension and under medical follow-up and categorize them into two groups. The participants of the intervention group will use the platform as a monitoring method, whereas the participants of the control group will use conventional methods. In both groups, we will assess and compare the evolution of blood pressure and treatment adherence before, during, and after the intervention. Results The project was funded at the end of 2018. We have been developing the software since 2019 with plans to complete it in 2020, and we will enroll patients between 2020 and 2021. We expect to submit the first results for publication in 2020. Conclusions For the primary outcome, we expect a reduction and stabilization of blood pressure. For the secondary outcomes, we hope to see improvements in treatment adherence, physical activities and dietary practices, and acceptance of the eHealth platform. In public health, the technology that favors disease control also helps reduce complications and, consequently, treatment costs. The platform might encourage the adaptation of medical assistance to incorporate this technology into patient monitoring. International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID) PRR1-10.2196/15299

A medicina do estilo de vida tem como meta principal ajudar os indivíduos na prevenção e no tratamento de doenças que restringem um modo de vida saudável. Para auxiliar esse processo, muitas soluções digitais estão sendo pesquisadas e desenvolvidas. O objetivo do trabalho em que se baseia este artigo é identificar quais são as aplicações móveis com interação médico-paciente que visam contribuir para um estilo de vida saudável. Para isso, realizamos uma revisão sistemática de literatura nas bases de dados eletrônicas Science Direct, IEEE, Springer e ACM durante o mês de maio de 2015. Foram incluídos estudos que descrevem o uso de tecnologias móveis e que possuem mecanismo de intervenção entre paciente e profissional, com vistas a contribuir efetivamente para um estilo de vida saudável. Dos artigos encontrados, 541 no total, cinco atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade e foram analisados nesse estudo de revisão.
