Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a global health challenge affecting over 1.28 billion adults, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Its status as a leading risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure underscores the need for effective management strategies. Traditional methods of monitoring blood pressure, such as periodic clinical readings or at-home cuff devices, often fall short in providing the continuous, personalized insights needed for optimal care. Enter artificial intelligence (AI)—a technological revolution poised to transform hypertension management. This article explores how AI is reshaping blood pressure monitoring, enabling personalized care, improving outcomes, and addressing the unique challenges of managing hypertension in the 21st century.
