Study Summary

This trial aims to compare a new model of care that uses cellular-enabled home BP monitoring combined with team-based care to an enhanced usual care group to improve BP control and address social challenges in people with hypertension.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a history of uncontrolled high blood pressure, particularly Hispanic and non-Hispanic black (majority) and white individuals. Participants must have had an average systolic BP of at least 140 mmHg in the past year and speak English without needing an interpreter. Those with severe kidney disease, dementia, substance abuse issues, or pregnant women are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two approaches to managing high blood pressure: one uses technology-enabled home monitoring plus team care including pharmacist support for medication management and lifestyle advice; the other provides just the monitor with basic instructions. The main goal is to see which method better controls systolic blood pressure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There may not be direct side effects from participating in this trial as it involves monitoring and management rather than testing new medications. However, changes in medication by pharmacists could lead to typical drug-related side effects such as dizziness or fatigue.
