“…It would be expedient to establish the practice of BP measurements at school and share hygienic recommendations on working with digital technologies for students and their parents, in addition to hygienic recommendations on the organization of the educational process with frequent breaks and alternation of educational activities. Digital technologies can also be of great help here, in the form of various gadgets that allow children and adolescents to control BP [39].…”

The purpose of our study was to search for possible changes in the parameters of the cardiovascular system in adolescents during the period from 2004 to 2020 against the background of the introduction of digital technologies into the educational environment. Methods: A comparative analysis of the parameters of the cardiovascular system in female and male adolescents aged from 13.9 to 15.4 years was carried out (57 adolescents in 2004 and 53 adolescents in 2020). We used a spiroartheriocardiorythmograph allowing recording of heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) and spectral parameters of HR variability and variability of systolic (sBP) and diastolic (dBP) BP. The parameters were recorded at rest in the sitting position for over two min. All studies were performed during school hours in February-March. Results: An increase in the mean sBP values and an increase in the proportion of adolescents with BP in the "hypertension" range to 55% were found in 2020. The total power of HR variability spectrum remained constant, while the relative power of the LF range increased and the absolute power of the VLF range tended to decrease. In the sBP variability spectrum, an increase in the total power and all its ranges was detected, but the relative power of the LF range decreased. In the dBP variability spectrum, the absolute power of the VLF range decreased, while the total power remained constant. No changes in the stress index and alpha index were detected.The dynamics of the parameters in male and female adolescents were similar. Conclusion: These findings indicate significant shifts in the parameters of the cardiovascular system in adolescents from 2004 to 2020 recorded during school hours analysis of the parameters of heart rate and BP variability reflecting the mechanisms of regulation of the cardiovascular system, suggests that the identified shifts were caused by psycho-emotional stress. We associate this state with the use of digital educational technologies. This trend requires the close attention of school health professionals. It would be expedient to establish the practice of BP measurements at school and share hygienic recommendations on working with digital technologies for students and their parents.

Obesity in childhood and adolescence represents a major health problem. Novel e-Health technologies have been developed in order to provide a comprehensive and personalized plan of action for the prevention and management of overweight and obesity in childhood and adolescence. We used information and communication technologies to develop a “National Registry for the Prevention and Management of Overweight and Obesity” in order to register online children and adolescents nationwide, and to guide pediatricians and general practitioners regarding the management of overweight or obese subjects. Furthermore, intelligent multi-level information systems and specialized artificial intelligence algorithms are being developed with a view to offering precision and personalized medical management to obese or overweight subjects. Moreover, the Big Data against Childhood Obesity platform records behavioral data objectively by using inertial sensors and Global Positioning System (GPS) and combines them with data of the environment, in order to assess the full contextual framework that is associated with increased body mass index (BMI). Finally, a computerized decision-support tool was developed to assist pediatric health care professionals in delivering personalized nutrition and lifestyle optimization advice to overweight or obese children and their families. These e-Health applications are expected to play an important role in the management of overweight and obesity in childhood and adolescence.

“…Fungsi sebagai alat klasifikasi tekanan darah sangat membantu terutama untuk memprediksi apakah seseorang telah menderita hipertensi. Selain itu, program pemantauan ketaatan minum obat, pemberian panduan latihan fisik, panduan untuk tidur yang efektif dan manajemen stres juga bisa diterapkan dalam smartphone (Bussenius, Zeck, Williams, & Haynes-Ferere, 2018;Persell et al, 2018).…”

Background:The increasing prevalence of hypertension requires good management to minimize complications that can occur, namely self-monitoring. Currently, almost everyone in the world has a smartphone, and current technological developments allow smartphones to have additional functions such as self-monitoring of hypertension, especially in measuring blood pressure. Objective: to analyze the results of research on hypertension management, namely self-monitoring with a smartphone-based application. Method: The method used in the search for research results was carried out on the CINAHL and ScienceDirect databases by entering the keywords "blood pressure", "blood pressure monitoring", and "application for blood pressure" between 2014 and 2018. Results: many applications for smartphones have a tracking function that can facilitate self-monitoring of hypertension. The tracking function consists of measuring blood pressure, pulse, weight, and BMI. Blood pressure measurement on smartphones is implemented using PPG or a combination of PPG (Photoplethysmogram) and SCG (Seimo Cardio Gram), both of which are claimed to be able to represent heart activity so that they can describe a person's blood pressure. Conclusion: The innovation of self-monitoring hypertension in the form of smartphone-based blood pressure measurement has a cost-effective impact and provides practicality.
