Determinants of regular self-monitoring of blood pressure in a digital health-based management program among Korean adults living in a remote community : a community-based observational study.
Observational study in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough recent efforts to integrate digital technologies have accelerated more effective and efficient hypertension management, low adherence and high dropout rates have been reported in real-world digital health programs. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with regular self-monitoring of blood pressure (SMBP) by analyzing real-world app-recorded data from a digital health-based program.
methodsData from 186 participants enrolled in a smart online-to-offline digital healthcare program between January and December 2024 were analyzed. Sociodemographic characteristics, health status, and health behaviors of the participants and their regular SMBP performance over 12 weeks and average daily measurement frequency were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to examine the regular SMBP performance; multiple linear regression was performed on the log-transformed average measurement frequency.
resultsFemales (odds ratio [OR] = 4.41), unmarried participants (OR = 5.06), and those with a monthly income of 1–2 million KRW (USD 679–1,358) (OR = 3.28) had significantly higher odds of irregular SMBP. Past or current smokers also had higher odds of poor adherence. Participants with self-rated health as “fair” showed a significantly lower measurement frequency than those who rated their health as “good” (− 0.37 times). Those residing farther from the service support center had higher odds of irregular monitoring (OR = 5.12) and fewer measurements per day (− 0.34 times) than those living nearby.
conclusionSMBP adherence to digital health programs was lower among socioeconomically and medically vulnerable populations. Physical accessibility remains a significant factor, even in the digital environment. These findings highlighted the need for tailored support strategies to ensure equal participation in digital health interventions.
