Hypertension is the abnormal increase – and over a long period – in the pressure that blood makes as it circulates through the arteries of the body. No wonder the disease is also called high blood pressure.
The pressure usually varies throughout the day or depending on the activity performed, and the diagnosis of hypertension only occurs when this pressure presents a constant value above 14/9 and is considered severe from values such as 18/12.
High blood pressure does not cause symptoms, so the diagnosis is often delayed because the person discovers hypertension in an emergency room or because he or she already has sequelae caused by high blood pressure.
Those who are not in the habit of having recurrent check-ups with a doctor, such as a cardiologist and endocrinologist, may end up having this late diagnosis.
If left untreated, high blood pressure can cause several sequelae such as cardiovascular diseases and even strokes.
Improving the condition and preventing its sequelae depends on a multifactorial treatment that involves patient behavior, medications, change of eating routine and physical activity, and medical follow-up.
With medical follow-up it is possible to significantly improve the condition, but for this it is necessary that the patient also goes armed with some important information for the consultation and this is where a high blood pressure app can help in an easy and inexpensive way.
In this article we have separated several options available for both Android and iOS. Check it out later!

AMPA
AMPA, an acronym for Automated Blood Pressure Measurement, is a high blood pressure app developed by doctors that can help the user identify if he or she is hypertensive, as well as allow hypertensive people to control their blood pressure beyond the doctor’s office.
Pressure gauges end up being expensive devices that are often not affordable for the population, and the AMPA came to help in this regard.
With it, it is possible to register the pressure values and take them to the doctor to evaluate the information and, based on this, to follow a specific treatment line with the hypertensive patient, either by modulating the medication or indicating some behavioral and routine changes.
In addition, guiding a patient to use an app to periodically measure his or her blood pressure will make the person feel active in the treatment making his or her compliance and control better.
With the new and recent update, doctors can even contact patients via chat via the app.
