Objective To explore the application of WeChat software in the follow-up of patients with primary hypertension. Methods Seventy-two patients with primary hypertension treated between June and December 2014 were randomly divided into two groups, WeChat group and phone group, with 36 in each. The patients in both the two groups were followed up once a week for three months. We recorded patients’ blood pressure, heart rate, and body mass index (BMI), assessed their life style, and compared follow-up time, rate of readmission, satisfaction degree, medication compliance and follow-up loss rate between the two groups. Results There were no significant differences in blood pressure, heart rate and BMI between the two groups (P>0.05). At the end of the follow-up, there were no significant differences in blood pressure, heart rate, BMI, salt-intake compliance, medicine-intake compliance, patient satisfaction, follow-up loss rate, and readmission rate between the two groups (P>0.05), but patients in the WeChat group were less than those in the Phone group in terms of average weekly smoking, alcohol consumption, and follow-up time (P<0.05), and were better in terms of average weekly sport-time (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of WeChat software for follow-up in patients with primary hypertension can effectively improve the patients’ life style and follow-up efficiency.
