But, what's so special about a blood pressure measure?
This simple piece of data is a key part of hypertension programs, and when utilized effectively can help to save millions of lives each year. Data empowers clinicians to treat patients more effectively, control blood pressure, and ultimately save lives.
However, there is more than meets the eye. Learn how a simple blood pressure measure can be utilized to reveal powerful insights for an entire hypertension program and even benefit a variety of teams in unexpected ways — all it takes is a little creativity.

Battling hypertension at scale
Today, Simple app users are recording more than 1 million blood pressures into the Simple app every month, which is a lot of patient check-ups. This equates to 1 blood pressure recorded every 2.5 seconds!

In our modern, digital world, it's common to hear numbers in the millions and it is easy to become numb to the real scale of that figure.
In the time it takes you to read this article, healthcare workers took and recorded 200 blood pressures into the Simple app. To give a perspective to that figure, tap your finger on your worktop 200 times: it’s a lot!
Now try to imagine 1 million people walking down a large road towards thousands of nurses who are taking blood pressure measures. Each patient sits down and has their BP taken and a nurse records the reading into the Simple app. Once a patient has their blood pressure measured they join the back of the queue, to return again next month to have their BP measured again.
