FAITH! HTN app
Participants will remain in the intervention for 11 weeks. The app-based intervention is a tailored program to promote HTN self-management and knowledge through an 11-module educational video series with a focus on HTN. Participants will also be provided with at home Blood Pressure (BP) monitoring system to allow for self-tracking of BP measurements(automatically synchronized with the app). The app will include pre-post module quizzes, a tracking component for participants to input self-monitored measures (medication adherence, diet, physical activity, etc.). The app sharing board will be a moderated discussion platform and feed for participant interaction by posting healthy lifestyle practices through text, photographs and video to foster discussion on HTN management barriers/facilitators. The project team will post weekly to the sharing board on HTN-related topics to generate discussion among patients.
