Comparative StudyEffect of telmisartan and amlodipine on home blood pressure by monitoring newly developed telemedicine system: monitoring test by using telemedicine. Telmisartan's effect on home blood pressure (TelTelbosu).
We have developed a new home blood pressure (BP) monitoring system by using cellular telephone and the Internet. All data of home BP and pulse rate were directly collected by I-converter date collecting system and sent online to a main server constructed in a central data center. The home doctor can monitor the exercise data of each patient by using this system. ⋯ From these data, we concluded that there is a big difference on the effects of antihypertensive agents on diurnal variation and 24hr overall BP variability in home BP. TEL has a good effect on home BP for 24 hours compared to AM. This telemedicine system has a great advantage in monitoriong home BP correctly in hypertensive patients.
