Hypertension, a prevalent cardiovascular condition, requires effective management of multimodal health risk factors. This study examines the effectiveness of a digital health tool designed for hypertension management and explores user perspectives on its utility. We analyse a cohort of 5,136 participants who used the digital tool, which provides continuous blood pressure monitoring, real-time feedback, and personalized health recommendations. Our results show that users achieve significant reduction in their blood pressure values and this reduction is positively correlated with the duration for which users report their blood pressure values. Additionally, we obtain high retention rates even after one year of using the digital tool. User feedback was collected through an online survey revealing high satisfaction rates. Participants highlighted the tools ease of use, and felt less anxious. Overall, our study demonstrates the potential of digital health tools in enhancing hypertension management and highlights the importance of user-centred design in developing effective health interventions.
