Abstract
Mobile applications (apps) show promise for managing hypertension; however, more evidence is needed to understand how dietitians use apps in hypertension care. Dietitians (n = 191) completed an online survey assessing app use in hypertension care. Most dietitians agreed that apps support behavior change, diet tracking, and goal setting. Apps are recommended for diet tracking more often than online programs or websites (P < .001), but not more than pen and paper. Dietitians generally recommended apps to some or most of their patients (40% and 25%, respectively); however, the majority (64%) do not recommend apps specific to hypertension (64%). Future work should examine barriers to app use for patients with hypertension.
