SMBP telemonitoring is a vital component of an overall hypertension control strategy. Herein, we present a pragmatic guide for implementing SMBP in clinical practice and provide a comprehensive list of resources to assist with implementation. Initial steps include defining program goals and scope, selecting the target population, staffing, choosing appropriate (clinically validated) BP devices with proper cuff sizes, and selecting a telemonitoring platform. Adherence to recommended data transmission, security, and data privacy requirements is essential. Clinical workflow implementation involves patient enrollment and training, review of telemonitored data, and initiating or titrating medications in a protocolized fashion based upon this information. Utilizing a team-based care structure is preferred and calculation of average BP for hypertension diagnosis and management is important to align with clinical best practice recommendations. Many stakeholders in the United States are engaged in overcoming challenges to SMBP program adoption. Major barriers include affordability, clinician and program reimbursement, availability of technological elements, challenges with interoperability, and time\/workload constraints. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that uptake of SMBP telemonitoring, still at a nascent stage in many parts of the world, will continue to grow, propagated by increased clinician familiarity, broader platform availability, improvements in interoperability, and reductions in costs that occur with scale, competition, and technological innovation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ajh\/hpad040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,4]],"date-time":"2023-05-04T12:43:21Z","timestamp":1683204201000},"page":"417-427","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Self-Measured
