Summary

The proportion of hypertensive patients achieving adequate blood pressure control meeting guideline targets remains low. Of hypertensive patients, only 50% are on antihypertensive medications. Of those on blood pressure lowering drugs, only 50% have their blood pressure controlled.

The objectives of this study are:

1. To test the feasibility of telemonitoring of blood pressure in Flemish general practices.
2. To investigate in a randomized fashion whether telemonitoring enabled self-measurement of blood pressure leads to faster blood pressure control than self-measurement without the telemonitoring information.
3. The secondary endpoints include various blood pressure indexes, adverse effects, a simple assessment of quality of life, adherence, a log of technical problems, and cost effectiveness (EQ-5D-5L).
