No, you can contact your doctor and/or pharmacist in the usual way to ask questions and discuss your situation at any time. But the programme gives you the peace of mind that your doctor is aware of your recent blood pressure measurements and means you can save the time of regular visits to the surgery.
To use the Hypertension Plus Application you will need either:
- An iPhone with at least iOS 13 (iPhone 6s or newer)
- A smartphone with Android operating system OS8 or newer
No, your own doctor will be the one looking at your readings and ultimately deciding what is best for you.
It helps you and your doctor to keep a closer eye on your blood pressure and make sure you are getting the best care. The measurement week allows your doctor to see how you are responding to your prescribed medication so that they can make adjustments if your values indicate that your situation has changed.
Besides receiving accurate readings from the app, your doctor can also investigate how you are feeling with a little questionnaire in the app. This will help them to understand your status beyond the blood pressure readings.
