Hypertension

​

Livongo Hypertension Management Program

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is one of the biggest risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, according to the American Heart Association, improved blood pressure control can lead to significant health benefits.  Each 20 mmHg decrease in systolic and 10 mmHg decrease in diastolic blood pressure is associated with a 50% decrease in the risk of death caused by heart disease.


The Livongo for Hypertension program is a health benefit that makes living with high blood pressure easier by providing you with a connected monitor, a mobile app that gives personalized feedback, and one-on-one coaching.
