The rapid advancement of digital technology has revolutionized the healthcare industry, particularly in the management of chronic conditions such as hypertension and cardiovascular risk. This paper explores the potential of digital health solutions in effectively managing these conditions, highlighting the benefits of telemonitoring, mobile applications, and wearable devices. We discuss how digital health interventions can facilitate timely data collection, personalized treatment plans, and patient engagement, thereby improving clinical outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Additionally, we examine the challenges and considerations associated with the adoption of these technologies, including privacy concerns, data security, and the need for robust validation. The findings suggest that digital health solutions offer a promising approach to enhance the management of hypertension and cardiovascular risk, but careful implementation and integration with existing healthcare systems are crucial to maximize their impact.
