Abstract

Although artificial intelligence (AI) is considered to be a promising tool, evidence for the effectiveness of AI-supported clinical practice for lowering blood pressure (BP) in the real world is scarce. We conducted a systematic review to elucidate whether AI-supported clinical care improves BP control. We identified two randomized control trials (RCTs) in a literature search. The results revealed no significant difference between AI-supported care and usual care in a random-effects model meta-analysis of RCTs (AI vs. usual care: systolic/diastolic BP difference: -2.13 [95% confidence interval: -4.72 to 0.46] / -1.03 [-2.52 to 0.46]). In this review, we were unable to clarify whether AI-supported clinical practice improved BP control compared with usual care. Further studies will be needed to provide robust evidence for the effectiveness of AI-supported care in clinical settings.
