Abstract
Hypertension is common among older people and often accompanied by frailty. Physicians are in need of comprehensive assessment tools to effectively manage hypertension in older patients.
We conducted a literature search and evaluated current studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, exploring the relationship between hypertension and frailty. Based on the analysis findings, we developed an IT solution with hypertension management elements for geriatric physicians. This article exemplifies the work with the literature and a no-code platform (IT system for developing medical solutions without programming knowledge) to create a clinical decision support system for geriatric physicians. This system will be used in subsequent studies using real-world data.
