MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hello Heart, the digital leader in preventive heart health, today announced results from its latest study observing the benefits of scalable, accessible digital health tools for a growing senior population. Presented at the American College of Cardiology 2024 Conference, study results showed an overwhelming majority of seniors aged 65 and over reduced their blood pressure (BP), cholesterol, and weight over a six month period while managing it with a mobile app, highlighting the potential of mobile technology in the prevention and control of cardiovascular disease (CVD) for the aging population..

加利福尼亚州门洛帕克（商业新闻短讯）--预防性心脏健康数字领导者Hello Heart今天宣布了其最新研究的结果，该研究观察了可扩展、可访问的数字健康工具对不断增长的老年人群的益处。在2024年美国心脏病学会会议上公布的研究结果显示，绝大多数65岁及以上的老年人在六个月内降低了血压（BP）、胆固醇和体重，同时使用移动应用程序进行管理，突显了移动技术在预防和控制老年人心血管疾病（CVD）方面的潜力。。

Eighty percent of heart attacks and strokes are preventable. Yet, CVD remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., partially because its key risk factor, high blood pressure, is a ‘silent killer,’ and most patients have no symptoms before their first heart attack or stroke. CVD is especially prevalent in the Medicare-aged population, affecting more than 75 percent of those aged 60-79 and more than 90 percent of those aged 80 and over..

80%的心脏病发作和中风是可以预防的。然而，心血管疾病仍然是美国的主要死亡原因，部分原因是其关键危险因素高血压是一种“无声杀手”，大多数患者在首次心脏病发作或中风前没有症状。心血管疾病在医疗保险老年人群中尤其普遍，影响60-79岁人群的75%以上，80岁及以上人群的90%以上。。

The study observed 8,148 Hello Heart users aged 65 and over who were equipped with the Hello Heart connected monitor and mobile app. The monitor and app recorded blood pressure, heart rate, and the appearance of irregular heartbeat. The app also recorded other significant heart health risk factors, such as cholesterol, weight, and physical activity via integration with external sources including electronic medical records and fitness trackers.

该研究观察了8148名65岁及以上的Hello Heart用户，他们配备了Hello Heart连接的显示器和移动应用程序。监护仪和应用程序记录了血压、心率和不规则心跳的出现。该应用程序还记录了其他重要的心脏健康风险因素，如胆固醇、体重和身体活动，并通过与外部来源（包括电子病历和健身跟踪器）的整合。

Based on these data points, the app used artificial intelligence (AI) and behavior science to provide personalized and actionable heart health insights to patients and their physicians. Results from the study showed:.

基于这些数据点，该应用程序使用人工智能（AI）和行为科学为患者及其医生提供个性化和可行的心脏健康见解。研究结果显示：。

Among participants with baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) above 140 mm Hg, 84% lowered their SBP by an average of 18 points within 26 weeks of monitoring.

在基线收缩压（SBP）高于140毫米汞柱的参与者中，84%的人在监测的26周内平均将SBP降低了18分。

Among participants with baseline LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) above 160 mg/dL, 80% reduced their LDL-C within four months, with a mean reduction of 76.6 mg/dL.

在基线LDL胆固醇（LDL-C）高于160 mg/dL的参与者中，80%的人在四个月内降低了LDL-C，平均降低了76.6 mg/dL。

Among participants with baseline body mass index (BMI) above 30 kg/m2, 70.4% reduced their weight within 3 months with a mean reduction of 8.8 lbs.

在基线体重指数（BMI）高于30 kg/m2的参与者中，70.4%的人在3个月内体重减轻，平均减轻8.8磅。

Study participants showed a 45% higher engagement rate compared to Hello Heart users younger than 65.

研究参与者的参与率比65岁以下的Hello Heart用户高45%。

“Results from this study challenge the assumption that our aging population struggles to use smartphones or are resistant to using technology to manage their health,” said Edo Paz, MD, SVP, Medical Affairs, Hello Heart. “There’s a significant untapped opportunity to engage this age group with scalable mobile technology to help them better understand their CVD risk and take steps to improve their heart health.”.

Hello Heart医疗事务高级副总裁、医学博士Edo Paz说：“这项研究的结果挑战了这样一种假设，即我们的老龄人口难以使用智能手机或抵制使用技术来管理他们的健康。”。“利用可扩展的移动技术让这个年龄段的人参与进来，这是一个尚未开发的重大机会，可以帮助他们更好地了解心血管疾病的风险，并采取措施改善他们的心脏健康。”。

Research shows that a 10 point reduction in systolic blood pressure helps lower the risk of coronary heart disease (17%), stroke (27%), heart failure (28%), and all-cause mortality (13%).

研究表明，收缩压降低10分有助于降低冠心病（17%）、中风（27%）、心力衰竭（28%）和全因死亡率（13%）的风险。

About the Study

关于这项研究

The study evaluated engagement and clinical outcomes among age 65+ participants of an mHealth app-based CV risk self-management program. Participants aged 65+ who enrolled in the Hello Heart app from January through October 2023 were studied retrospectively. Change in blood pressure (BP), LDL cholesterol, and weight were evaluated from baseline to follow up.

该研究评估了基于mHealth app的CV风险自我管理计划的65岁以上参与者的参与度和临床结果。回顾性研究了2023年1月至10月期间参加Hello Heart应用程序的65岁以上参与者。从基线到随访评估血压（BP），LDL胆固醇和体重的变化。

Engagement was evaluated as the cumulative number of BP values measured in the app. Outcomes were compared for participants aged 65+ vs. <65..

参与度被评估为应用程序中测量的BP值的累积数量。比较了65岁以上和65岁以下参与者的结果。。
