Summary

We investigated whether video-based education using deepfake technology could improve blood pressure measurement adherence and medication adherence in patients with ischemic heart disease accompanied by hypertension.

Detailed description

Hypertension is a major risk factor for recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with ischemic heart disease, yet adherence to home blood pressure monitoring and prescribed medications remains suboptimal. Personalized and engaging educational strategies may help to improve adherence behaviors in this population. This randomized controlled trial investigates the effectiveness of a video-based educational program, developed with deepfake technology, to deliver individualized health information. Participants are randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which receives the video education in addition to usual care, or the control group, which receives usual care alone. The primary outcomes are adherence to home blood pressure monitoring and medication adherence after one month. Secondary outcomes include changes in office and home blood pressure, as well as 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The results of this study may provide evidence for scalable, technology-assisted strategies to enhance adherence and improve blood pressure control in high-risk cardiovascular patients.
