Remote Patient Monitoring and Health Coaching vs. Usual Care for the Treatment of Hypertension

Sponsor: Stanford University

Summary

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, affects nearly half of all Americans and increases the risk for heart disease and stroke. Only about half of people with high blood pressure have it under control. New methods to control blood pressure are needed to reduce heart attack and stroke rates. The purpose of this study is to test whether a digital program that includes personalized health coaching and remote patient monitoring with a connected blood pressure cuff, all delivered on a smartphone or website, can improve blood pressure control compared with usual care among patients with high blood pressure.
