Background: One-third of the German population is affected by high blood pressure. Digital preventive interventions are particularly suitable for promoting a healthy lifestyle. The model project "AOK Heart Health Digital" was initiated to support patients with hypertension. Methods: The aim of the study (with three survey waves) was to identify factors from the participants' perspective that promote or inhibit the (long-term) use of such interventions. Results: Subjective self-management/disease management, general health status, and health literacy improved. Personal counseling, in particular, proved to be beneficial and motivating. Technical and motivational barriers were identified. Conclusion: The results show that personal components can significantly influence the success of digital interventions.
