With EmmaHBPM, the patient measures his/her blood pressure at home in a completely reliable way and you limit the risk of infection in your practice. This gives you a better insight into the blood pressure data of your patients and you can easily determine whether and how much medication a patient with hypertension needs. EmmaHBPM uses the protocolled home measurement recommended by the Dutch CVRM guideline and is also reimbursed by the health insurer. In case of questions or problems, the patient asks our support department.
EmmaHBPM uses the validated Microlife blood pressure monitor, which, in addition to measuring blood pressure, also screens for atrial fibrillation.
EmmaHBPM helps you to spend your precious time as efficiently as possible.
Protocold home blood pressure measurement
The operation of EmmaHBPM is based on the protocolled home blood pressure measurement, also known as weekly measurement. We have developed this method in collaboration with the Vascular Medicine department of the UMC Utrecht, according to ESH, AHA and NHG guidelines. More information about the validation of this protocolled weekly measurement can be found here.
What can EmmaHBPM be used for?
The weekly measurements with EmmaHBPM can be used for three purposes:
Diagnostics: as a reliable alternative to 24-hour measurement.
Medication Titration: For complete remote setting of new medications.
Monitoring: for efficient on-demand care for patients with chronic hypertension.
The measuring equipment
The patient receives a package containing the Microlife BP A6 BT blood pressure monitor and a simple manual. After downloading the Emma6 app, the patient can start measuring.
Since the frequency at which a patient measures blood pressure can differ between patients, we offer the blood pressure monitors both for loan and for personal use.
The patient is given a blood pressure monitor on loan. We send these by post to the patient's home or to your desk.
The patient buys a Microlife BP A6 BT blood pressure monitor. This offers patients the opportunity to measure unlimitedly, while you only receive notifications for deviating values. To accommodate this group of (chronic) patients, we offer them a discount that they will not find in the regular store.
In this way, you and your patient can make a personal choice together.
EmmaHBPM has many advantages, including:

To remotely check if a patient may have hypertension.
For a reliable remote medication setup period.
Enable on-demand care by monitoring patients remotely.
You register your patient on the secure web environment and we then send the package to the patient or to your desk. The patient then starts the weekly measurement, under the guidance of the Emma platform. A large proportion of patients are able to do this independently at home. The Medicine Men Support Team keeps an eye on whether everything is going well with the home measurement from day one and contacts the patient if he or she is unable to resolve it.
You will receive a notification as soon as sufficient valid measurements have been taken. You can easily discuss the results with the patient in an eConsult or telephone conversation. If necessary, you and your patient can continue with Medication Titration

EmmaHBPM is ideal for medication titration, because you can see all measurements clearly on your dashboard. As soon as enough valid measurements have been taken, you will receive a notification and you can start titration. After each set period you can consult with the patient remotely and, if necessary, adjust the medication. This makes setup much faster. Moreover, the patient no longer needs to make an appointment to come to the practice. After the medication has been set up correctly, you and your patient can switch to Monitoring.
You agree with your patient that he or she will take a weekly measurement periodically (eg every month). Once you and your patient have set up a schedule within your web dashboard, Emma will send your patient reminders to start measuring. You can view the progress of your patient over a longer period of time. You can also receive notifications when the results of the weekly measurement deviate from the values you have set. In this way you can offer “on-demand” care that suits the patient

In the coming period we will cancel the shipping costs. For example, the blood pressure monitors can be sent to patients at a low cost and they do not have to collect them from the GP. In this way we try to limit the risk of contamination for you and the patients.
