Abstract

With the purpose of identifying in the literature and describing the scientific evidence for the use of smartphone applications for blood pressure monitoring, this study is an integrative literature review, employing a qualitative approach conducted with studies from 2014 to 2024, accessed via the Virtual Health Library (VHL) portal. The research resulted in 10 articles addressing the use of digital technology in smartphones and answering the following guiding question: What is the effectiveness of this technology for diagnostic purposes and blood pressure control? This study showed that digital smartphone applications are effective for blood pressure monitoring, providing important information for both patients and healthcare professionals. The evidence found indicates that digital applications are effective in monitoring blood pressure variations; however, they are not effective for diagnostic purposes but can be used to complement existing data.
