Effect of Digital Intervention on Self-management of Hypertensive Patients at High Risk of Stroke

Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world, and the number of stroke patients in China ranks the first in the world. Hypertension is the most important risk factor. Studies have shown that 80% of stroke can be prevented by controlling risk factors. However, the management level of hypertension patients in China is still low, and their self-management ability is insufficient. Digital health management, such as remote monitoring, AI and mobile health platforms, provides a new way for hypertension prevention and control. Foreign studies have shown that digital interventions can effectively improve patients' self-management behaviors, such as diet, exercise and blood pressure control. Interventions based on wechat, APP and other tools in China have also achieved positive results, but face challenges such as patient acceptance, system adaptation and data continuity. Based on behavior change wheel (BCW) theory \*\* and digital platform, this study formulated personalized intervention programs for hypertension patients in high-risk groups of stroke, and promoted health behavior change from three aspects of \*\* ability, motivation and opportunity \*\*. By improving disease cognition and strengthening self-management, the incidence of stroke can be ultimately reduced, and a new strategy for hypertension prevention and control in the community can be provided.
