AB - The purpose of this study was to suggest directions for the development of an application (app) for hypertension prevention with high utilization, through user evaluation of the app “hypertension coach” developed by the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine (KIOM). Methods : For hypertension control, risk factors such as body weight, salt intake, and exercise volume, in addition to blood pressure, need to be managed. We have developed a beta-version app to monitor blood pressure as well as the risk factors of hypertension. For the development of the final version, an online survey was conducted for user evaluation of satisfaction for each function of the hypertension coach app and we obtained suggestions on areas for improvement. A total of 208 people responded and 66.7% of them said that they did not experience inconvenience using the hypertension coach app. They suggested that improving the entry method, such as automating the process, would ensure accurate entry of data. Moreover, users expressed an opinion that based on the entered information, personalized exercise and food recommendations should be provided by the app. Respondents also expressed interest in having a user interface that would help them to readily obtain any related information. The results of this study will be helpful in developing an effective and user-friendly app to reduce risk of hypertension among users.
