 Self-monitoring and self-titration of anti-hypertensive medications in essential hypertension has been shown to be both feasible and more effective than usual care. Women with HDP would seem to be an ideal cohort in whom to apply these experiences: the disease has, in general, a limited time course meaning that intensive monitoring is more reasonable and more likely to be adhered to. Pregnant women are in a younger age group than the majority of those with essential hypertension, and may be more comfortable with the use of technology to assist in disease monitoring. Women might also be more empowered in the setting of a recent pregnancy to take greater responsibility for their health.
