Mobile health monitoring and consultation to support hypertension treatment

Hypertension is a disease that can lead to heart attack and blood vessel disease. Maintain blood pressure on normal conditions can reduce the risk of hypertension and heart disease. Conventionally, patients can consult the hypertensive condition by visiting hospital then take measurements of blood pressure, doctor will diagnose the condition of a patient's blood pressure, then give advice on what should be done by the patient. This paper will describe the monitoring and consultation system for hypertension treatment using smartphone devices that are integrated with medical sensor device.
