Abstract: Objective  To implement remote management of outpatients with hypertension through an information network platform and to investigate the significance in improving the blood pressure compliance rate of patients. Methods  A total of 1 294 outpatients with hypertension from January 2016 to January 2018 were selected as observation objects and were randomly divided into control group (646 cases) and intervention group (648 cases). The control group was followed up routinely. The intervention group was excluded from routine followup. Through the WeChatbased information network interactive platform, patients were given with regular monitoring of blood pressure and timely medical guidance in conjunction with changes in blood pressure.  Comparison was made in the living intervention, compliance and blood pressure compliance rate between two groups. The blood pressure was detected between two groups before and after study. Results  The intervention group had statistically significant difference  in the lowsalt diet, weight control, moderate exercise, smoking cessation, alcohol restriction, psychological balance and other life interventions(P<0.01). The intervention group was in compliance with the patients' blood pressure. The rate was statistically significant when comparing with the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion  The remote management of hypertensive patients through information network can improve the blood pressure compliance rate.
