Summary

In Pakistan, poor medication adherence is a key operational factor in the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension. Mobile phone treatments based on technology are at the forefront and are a reasonably low-cost strategy for combating the latest health concerns associated with poor adherence. On the other hand, conservative approaches to counseling are also found effective. This study will look at how a mHealth-based strategy and an educational-led peer counseling intervention can help hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease lower their systolic blood pressure.
