What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of automatically-generated medical advice to patients about to their home blood pressure monitoring results sent through patient portal messages compared to no automated advice and the effectiveness of automated transmission of remotely-obtained blood pressure values compared to self-reported values on systolic blood pressure at 1-year follow up in patients with uncontrolled hypertension whose physicians or advance practice providers provide primary care at Northwestern Medicine. Persistence of effects through 18 months will also be assessed.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

  • Automated feedback about home blood pressure results
  • Automated Transmission of Remotely Measured Blood Pressure
  • Self report of home measured blood pressure via patient EHR portal
