“…For the studies included in this review, the sample size ranged from 88 to 22,635 participants. There were seven randomized controlled trials [20,[23][24][25][30][31][32], six pre-and post-test studies [19,21,22,[27][28][29], and one prospective interventional study [26]. Of the 14 studies, eleven included participants with either hypertension or other cardiovascular disease.…”

“…Categorizations of the interventions. The majority of the studies included in the review (n = 7) utilized telephone communication [20][21][22][24][25][26]32], four studies incorporated video chat applications [19,27,29,31], and three studies used electronic messaging platforms (Table 2) [23,28,30]. Five studies evaluated patient to provider telemedicine interventions to encourage behavioral risk factor modification such as bi-weekly telephone reminders to limit alcohol consumption and increase physical activity levels [20,21,24,25,32].…”

Telemedicine interventions for hypertension management in low- and middle-income countries: A scoping review

et al. 2021

Hypertension remains the leading cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide and disproportionately impacts patients living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Telemedicine offers a potential solution for improving access to health care for vulnerable patients in LMICs. Objectives The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize the evidence for telemedicine interventions for blood pressure management in LMICs and assess the relationships between the telemedicine intervention characteristics and clinical outcomes. Design Published studies were identified from the following databases (from their inception to May 2020): PubMed, Scopus, and Embase. Search terms related to “Low and Middle Income Countries,” “Telemedicine,” and “Hypertension” were used, and clinical outcomes were extracted from the screened articles. Results Our search resulted in 530 unique articles, and 14 studies were included in this review. Five studies assessed telemedicine interventions for patient-provider behavioral counseling, four assessed patient-provider medical management, and five assessed provider-provider consultation technologies. Out of fourteen individual studies, eleven demonstrated a significant improvement in systolic or diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group. Of the eight studies that reported difference-in-differences changes in systolic blood pressure, between-arm differences ranged from 13.2 mmHg to 0.4 mmHg. Conclusions The majority of the studies in this review demonstrated a significant reduction in blood pressure with use of the telemedicine intervention, though the magnitude of benefit was not consistently large. Limitations of the studies included small sample sizes, short duration, and intervention heterogeneity. Current evidence suggests that telemedicine may provide a promising approach to increase access to care and improve outcomes for hypertension in LMICs, especially during events that limit access to in-person care, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, high-quality clinical trials of sufficient size and duration are needed to establish the impact and role of telemedicine in hypertension care. The protocol for this review was not registered.

Objectives To identify and evaluate the effect of interventions that used cell phones as a means to promote physical activity (PA). Methods The databases searched were MedLine/PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, Science Direct, Lilacs, and SciELO. After removing duplicates, applying exclusion criteria, and checking the reference lists, 45 studies were reviewed. The Downs and Black (D&B) scale measured methodological quality, and a random effect model was used to compute the meta-analysis of PA by the reported unit (minutes per day or steps per day), delivery agent (application (APP), SMS, or other), and PA measurement (questionnaire, accelerometer, pedometer). Results Mobile phone-based PA interventions were efficient in increasing both minutes [10.49;); p = 0.004] and steps per day [735.17; CI (227.72-1242.61); p = 0.005] in adults when compared to baseline. Furthermore, APP-based interventions were able to increase the number of steps (p = 0.04) and minutes per day of PA (p = 0.04) in adults. Also, 85% of included manuscripts were classified as moderate-to high-quality articles. Conclusions Mobile phone-based PA interventions, inclusive those delivery by APP, were effective to increase minutes and steps per day in adults.
