Alere study shows blood pressure monitoring system success

A year-long pilot study recently conducted by Alere Health found that at-home blood pressure monitoring increased medication compliance among coronary artery disease patients and reduced blood pressure levels in 98.4 percent of the home monitoring population. By comparison, only 33 percent of people who reported results to their providers via telephone saw reduced blood pressure levels. Alere markets an at-home blood pressure monitoring system for patients with coronary artery disease.
