People with high blood pressure are more likely to get it under control if they record blood pressure readings at home and share the data with their healthcare provider. At-home monitoring gives providers a better sense of patients' true blood pressure readings, leading to more customized treatment and better hypertension control. Combining at-home readings with traditional provider care saves money by reducing medications and doctor and emergency department visits.
