May 17, World Hypertension Day, this year is the 14th World Hypertension Day. On the 16th, the Chinese Hypertension League, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, and the Shanghai Institute of Hypertension co-hosted the 2018 China High Blood Pressure Control Action Plan Press Conference, Action Plan includes 2018 China May Blood Pressure Measurement Month and Hypertension Intelligent Treatment Center Construction Project. The project was initiated by the China Hypertension Alliance and Shanghai Hypertension Research Institute and is responsible for implementation. Improve the quality of hypertension management.
Hypertension prevention and treatment: initial success
At present, hypertension has become the most important public health problem in the world. To allow hypertensive patients to receive standardized treatment, it is a common policy for health policy makers, medical workers, related medical devices/drug providers, and media workers. responsibility.
Professor Shen Pei-yue, deputy director of Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, said that hypertension is preventable and treatable, and it has become the consensus of the whole society. With the efforts of all sectors of the society, the prevention and treatment of hypertension has achieved preliminary results. The rate of awareness, treatment, and control were 46.5, 41.1%, and 13.8%, respectively. The prevention and control in Shanghai was better, reaching 56.1%, 53%, and 20%, respectively. However, due to economic development and medical and health There are differences. The prevention and treatment of hypertension in China is still far below the level of developed countries. The May monthly blood pressure measurement project is an important activity to promote the quality of hypertension management.
2018 Chinese MMM Measurement Target: 1 Million People
The May Month Blood Pressure Measurement Month (MMM) campaign, launched on May 17th each year, was initiated by the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) and the World Hypertension League (WHL). It is a global blood pressure aimed at raising awareness of hypertension. Measurement activities. China MMM is organized and led by the Chinese Hypertension League. The Shanghai Institute of Hypertension is responsible for the implementation. During this activity carried out in 2017, Chinese MMM measured the blood pressure of 490,000 people who had not measured blood pressure recently. The results showed that the global awareness rate of hypertension was only 46.5%, of which untreated hypertension was 22% in East Asia and even as high as 55% in China.
In fact, blood pressure itself is not terrible, and high blood pressure is preventable and controllable. Regular measurement of blood pressure is the only way to detect high blood pressure in a timely manner. However, measurement of blood pressure seems simple but matters needing attention during operation are ignored by many people. Even misunderstood. Chairman of the Chinese Hypertension League, Professor Wang Jiguang of the Shanghai Institute of Hypertension stressed: “There is no feeling of discomfort and it does not mean that blood pressure is not high. Therefore, blood pressure should be measured and treated with a scientific attitude. , Measured once a year; if the blood pressure in the clinic or home blood pressure does not meet the diagnostic criteria for hypertension, but the level is higher, the number of blood pressure measurements should be increased, monthly, at least every quarter measured blood pressure.
It is understood that in 2018, the China Hypertension League and the Shanghai Institute of Hypertension will work together with medical institutions at all levels, news media, and blood pressure management companies to publicize and actively promote the social atmosphere of measuring blood pressure and blood pressure. , Let more people measure blood pressure, thereby raising the awareness rate of hypertension. The goal of China MMM in 2018 is to complete blood pressure measurement for 1 million people in 200 counties and cities nationwide.
Online popularization of blood pressure management knowledge Omron technology + science two-step walk
Omron, the sole sponsor of the Chinese Hypertension Control Action Plan, has always been adhering to the mission of 'Use our work to improve our lives and create a better society'. It is committed to supporting high standards through support for public welfare and research projects. Academic development in areas related to blood pressure, raising awareness of hypertension, awareness and compliance, and promoting better implementation of blood pressure compliance. In May's May Blood Pressure Measurement Month, Omron provided 8,720 latest models with data at no charge. Electronic sphygmomanometer with transmission function; In order to better promote the project, Omron also assisted Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University to set up a special “outpatient blood pressure self-test cabin” to facilitate patients and citizens to more easily perform the correct blood pressure self-test.
In addition to Omron's active support of the 'May Blood Month Measurement Month' activity, online, Omron is also about to join the High Blood Pressure Alliance and Ali Health this year. It will focus on well-known experts and use 'listening medical knowledge' for the majority of the people. Blood pressure crowd provides 'education + measurement + consultation' medical experience.
In fact, current high blood pressure is a common problem in the world. About one billion people in the world suffer from hypertension. The number of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by high blood pressure is about 17.5 million. As a worldwide common disease, it is frequently diseased. A serious threat to human health.
In order to allow everyone to live comfortably and comfortably every day, Omron Health, the leader in blood pressure monitoring, has set a social health goal of 'ZERO EVENTS' (ie, zero heart and cerebrovascular events) that will lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Zero-occurring problems do their best. While popularizing effective health concepts that are critical for the prediction of disease risk in blood pressure monitoring, the company continues to overhaul its products and delve into the cardiovascular business.
In recent years, in addition to actively participating in social welfare projects, Omron continues to make innovations in equipment technology, research and development, and efforts to improve accuracy. On the hardware: Through the continuous introduction of new products to complete the technical evolution of blood pressure management, including the cover of the wrist The upper arm type U series and HEM series products comprehensively cover home monitoring scenes with different needs; on the software, the link of the Internet of Things is realized through the upgrade of healthy big data and the opening of the type of hardware device + APP, thereby making hypertension Personalized medical care for affected individuals and the implementation of a chain of health services ranging from classification to treatment to participation and implementation.
In the future, we will look forward to the 'May Blood Month Measurement Month' event, which will mobilize more medical units and professionals to join in, concentrating, concluding and letting more people know their blood pressure by measuring blood pressure, so as to increase public awareness. Understanding of the importance of blood pressure measurement. Only more high blood pressure patients get high-quality management can fundamentally reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, to achieve the dual benefits of quality of life and economic burden.
