Digital health interventions show potential to improve hypertension management among African women, who have a 48% hypertension prevalence but a low 13% blood pressure control rate in sub-Saharan Africa, compared to 23% control rate globally.
Do digital health interventions improve hypertension management in African women?
African women aged 18 and older with hypertension
Digital health interventions (mHealth, telemedicine, telehealth, wearable devices, remote monitoring, or AI-driven diagnostics)
Prevalence, awareness, treatment, or control of hypertension, effectiveness (e.g., blood pressure reduction), feasibility, or acceptability
This scoping review protocol outlines a methodology to map digital health interventions for hypertension management in African women to identify evidence gaps and inform future policies.
This protocol ensures transparent reporting, with amendments documented in OSF. Findings will guide stakeholders to improve hypertension control.

Djibrilla et al. (Wed,) conducted a other in African women aged 18 years and older with hypertension. Digital health interventions for hypertension management (e.g., mHealth, telemedicine, telehealth, wearable devices, AI-driven diagnostics) vs. Non-digital or standard of care was evaluated on Hypertension control rate (blood pressure control defined as BP <140/90 mmHg), awareness, treatment rates, or blood pressure reduction. Digital health interventions show potential to improve hypertension management among African women, who have a 48% hypertension prevalence but a low 13% blood pressure control rate in sub-Saharan Africa, compared to 23% control rate globally.
