The need for safe remote monitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic

There has been an increasing recognition of the benefits from self-monitoring of blood pressure (‘BP’) during pregnancy - see references below.  The COVID-19 outbreak is now increasing the need for healthcare professionals to advocate BP self-monitoring to reduce face-to-face consultations for pregnant and postnatal women whilst maintaining care for the woman and her baby.

Self-monitoring in pregnancy

Either to replace BP measurements on the day of a clinic or so that BP measurements may be done more frequently.

Easy to use

Provides an easy to use system for women, many of whom already informally self-monitor.

Provides advice

Provides advice on what a woman should do depending on her BP levels.

BPm-Health is aimed at:

Pregnancy

Women with chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia

Pregnancy

Women determined as high or moderate risk by NICE guidelines (see below)

Pregnancy

All pregnant women (including those who may need to self-isolate for a period)

Read our BPm-Health FAQsDownload Product Guide
NICE Guidelines* identify the following groups at risk of hypertension in pregnancy:
One of  the following risk factors:
  • hypertensive disease during a previous pregnancy
  • chronic kidney disease
  • autoimmune disease (e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus orantiphospholipid syndrome)
  • type 1 or type 2 diabetes
Two or more of  the following risk factors:
  • first pregnancy
  • age 40 years or older
  • pregnancy interval of more than 10 years
  • body mass index (BMI) of 35 kg/m2 or more family history of pre-eclampsia
  • multi-fetal pregnancy

*NICE guideline [NG133] “Hypertension in pregnancy:diagnosis and management” published June 2019: www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng133
