N2 - With the increased incidence of pediatric hypertension, global blood pressure (BP) surveillance can identify strategies for early blood pressure screenings. Pedia BP® smartphone technology, an app-based screening tool, was used in 45 countries from 2017 to 2022. Data from 843 children aged 3 to 18 was analyzed. Children aged 3 to 5 years experienced more Stage 1 and 2 hypertension than children aged 6 to 18 years. Race and gender did not correlate with the hypertension stage; however, socioeconomic status may have been a contributory factor. Pedia BP interprets blood pressure based on clinical screening guidelines and supports early interventions, such as school-based policies.
