Hypertension affects 120 million adults in the U.S. and is costly, with a higher prevalence among Black people, men, and seniors. The Peterson Health Technology Institute (PHTI) analyzes digital hypertension solutions for their effectiveness and cost-saving potential. Report findings show that medication management companies are clinically effective with long-term cost savings. However, blood pressure monitoring and behavior change solutions were found to be less effective. Some companies, like Omada Health and Hello Heart, disagree with the report’s assessment of their solutions. The report has implications for investors and purchasers overwhelmed by the variety of digital health solutions and calls for more evidence-based evaluations in the industry.
