This paper presents findings from a scoping review of published evidence on technology-enabled remote monitoring in blood pressure monitoring pathways. It sets out the context for the review, including the prevalence of hypertension, use of health and care services and experiences of patients, as well as policy relating to the use of technology to support remote monitoring for patients with hypertension in the UK. It sets out findings about how technology is used for remote monitoring for patients with hypertension in research and real-world settings, the evidence on its impact on patient outcomes, cost effectiveness and user experience. The work presented here forms one part of a rapid evaluation of technology-enabled remote monitoring of blood pressure, running from March 2024 to May 2025. The evaluation consists of this review alongside interviews with four NHS sites that are using technology-enabled remote monitoring of blood pressure. The rapid evaluation of technology-enabled remote monitoring for hypertension, including this review, is being conducted by DECIDE (Digitally Enabled Care In Diverse Environments), a partnership between the University of Oxford and RAND Europe, and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Health and Social Care Delivery Research programme to support a programme of work evaluating technology-enabled remote monitoring in health and social care.
