Leveraging Digital Tools for Hypertension Management in Marginalized Groups: A Pathway to Health Equity

Recent studies reveal digital tools' potential in mitigating health disparities, particularly in managing hypertension among marginalized groups. Meta-analyses demonstrate statistically significant reductions in systolic blood pressure with digital interventions, underscoring their clinical relevance. Effective strategies include pharmacist-centric care models and multicomponent interventions like remote monitoring and community health worker involvement. The World Health Organization advocates for digital tools to bridge healthcare gaps, emphasizing cultural tailoring and community engagement. These findings highlight the need for increased investment in digital hypertension programs to address disparities and foster health equity. Such initiatives hold promise in advancing a more equitable healthcare landscape for marginalized communities, marking a significant step towards health equity and inclusion.
