JMDC confirms that recording body composition and blood pressure measurements in a PHR may improve weight and blood pressure

JMDC compared users of its PHR service, Pep Up, who recorded body composition and blood pressure monitor readings with otherwise similar users who tended not to record them. The results indicated that users who recorded their readings tended to show greater improvements in body weight and blood pressure, although the study was observational and does not establish a purely causal effect.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Users with similar characteristics, including age, sex, past health examination results and medical interview responses, were compared using propensity score matching. The analysis also used a platform that links Pep Up's medical data with daily measurement data at the individual ID level.
