Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the current situation of Chinese mobile apps for hypertension management and explore patients\' real requirements for app use, providing a theoretical basis for the future improvement of hypertension apps.
METHODS: We reviewed hypertension management apps from mobile app platforms, and summarized their functional characteristics. In addition, we conducted an online survey among 1000 hypertensive patients, collected valid responses, and analyzed the feedback data.
RESULTS: Forty hypertension management apps were analyzed, with 72.5% offering no more than six functions, indicating limited coverage of advanced and comprehensive functionalities. Among the 934 valid survey responses, patients emphasized four main functions in apps for hypertension management: long-term dynamic blood pressure monitoring, scientific lifestyle management, strict medication management and systematic health knowledge delivering.
CONCLUSIONS: The existing hypertension management apps mainly serve as \"Digital Health\" tools with unclear clinical efficacy. The future development of these apps lies in how they transition to \"Digital Therapeutics\" solutions to better meet patients\' needs and provide clear clinical advantages.

摘要：
目的：本研究旨在评估中国高血压管理手机APP的现状，探索患者对APP使用的真实需求，为今后高血压APP的改进提供理论依据。
方法：我们回顾了来自移动应用平台的高血压管理应用，并总结了它们的功能特征。此外,我们对1000名高血压患者进行了在线调查，收集的有效响应，并分析了反馈数据。
结果：分析了40种高血压管理应用，72.5%提供不超过六种功能，表明先进和全面功能的覆盖范围有限。在934份有效调查回复中，患者强调了高血压管理应用程序的四个主要功能：长期动态血压监测，科学的生活方式管理，严格的用药管理和系统的健康知识传递。
结论：现有的高血压管理应用程序主要作为“数字健康”工具，临床疗效不明确。这些应用程序的未来发展在于它们如何过渡到“数字治疗”解决方案，以更好地满足患者的需求并提供明确的临床优势。
