Abstract
Home-based blood pressure monitoring programmes have gained traction in urban Nigeria as a means to improve hypertension management among hypertensive patients. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases such as PubMed and Web of Science, focusing on studies published between and . Studies were selected based on relevance to home-based blood pressure monitoring in urban Nigeria. Users reported satisfaction levels ranging from 78% to 92%, with significant improvement noted in systolic blood pressure readings over a six-month period (mean reduction of 15 mmHg). The review underscores the efficacy of home-based monitoring programmes in enhancing user satisfaction and health outcomes, particularly among hypertensive patients. Further research should explore the long-term sustainability and cost-effectiveness of these programmes.
