For those surrogate outcomes , low-strength evidence failed to show difference .
In subgroup analysis , high strength evidence supported a lower BP with HBPT that lasted for 6 or 12 months and was accompanied with counselling support from study personnel .
HBPT can improve BP control in the hypertensive patients .
It may be more efficacious when a proactive additional support is provided during the intervention process
To summarise evidence about the effectiveness of home blood pressure telemonitoring ( HBPT )  and identify the key components of intervention .
Technical and compliance considerations for mobile health self-monitoring of glucose and blood pressure for patients with diabetes
Self-monitoring of blood glucose is an integral part of diabetes care which may be extended to other biometrics . Cellular and short range communication technologies will be important for the routine usage of these systems . However , the issues of follow-up and patient compliance with these emerging systems have not been yet studied evaluated but could be critical to the adoption of these technologies . We evaluated the impact of mobile telemonitoring on the intensification of care on blood pressure control and exposure to hyperglycaemia in patients with diabetes . We r and omised 137 patients with diabetes to either mobile telemonitoring  ( n = 3D72 ) or usual care patients ( n = 3D65 ) for 9 months . In this paper we present some of the clinical results with focus on blood pressure control hypertension and highlight some of the technical and compliance issues that were encountered
