Abstract

Rural Senegalese women in Cameroon face challenges in accessing effective medical care for blood pressure management. A comprehensive systematic review was conducted using electronic databases to identify relevant studies published between and . Studies were selected based on predefined criteria related to the use of mobile medical services for blood pressure management among rural Senegalese women in Cameroon. Mobile medical services showed a significant improvement (p < 0.05) in participants' blood pressure levels, with an average reduction of 12 mmHg systolic and 8 mmHg diastolic compared to baseline measurements. Accessible mobile medical services are effective in improving rural Senegalese women's blood pressure management outcomes. Further research should explore the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of these services, including cost-effectiveness analyses. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
