Adherence to recommended data transmission, security, and data privacy requirements is essential.

Initial steps include defining program goals and scope, selecting the target population, staffing, choosing appropriate (clinically validated) BP devices with proper cuff sizes, and selecting a telemonitoring platform. Herein, we present a pragmatic guide for implementing SMBP in clinical practice and provide a comprehensive list of resources to assist with implementation. SMBP telemonitoring is a vital component of an overall hypertension control strategy.


Self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) telemonitoring is the process of securely storing and tele-transmitting reliably measured, patient self-performed blood pressure (BP) measurements to healthcare teams, while ensuring that these data are viewable and clinically actionable for the purposes of improving hypertension diagnosis and management.
