YPERTENSION is a critical risk factor for
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the general
population and reduction of blood pressure (BP) with
effective antihypertensive therapy significantly decreases
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality [1]. Keeping
observing BP is also a matter of concern for those who have
hypertension, coronary heart disease, or other cardiovascular
diseases [2]. BP measurement is also important for particular
disease patients, such as hemodialysis patients [3]. Hence, in
the daily life, BP measurement and management is very
useful for handling health situation and plays a preventive
function. Many researches point out that the importance of
BP measurement and management for elder and
hypertensions [4]. Elderly people usually have higher BP,
prone to take sick, and the morbidity of BP disease is higher.
In patients with hypertension, BP measurement and
management warn patients to take medicines and pay
attention to diet, to get treatment effect.
In recent years, homecare is becoming an important topic.
