Study Summary

This trial tests an app to help manage high blood pressure in African American adults, to see if it works better than usual care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American adults aged 18-65 with high blood pressure (SBP ≥ 160 mmHg). Participants must have access to an iPhone, Wi-Fi or data plan, and be able to use the USeeBP app and a wireless blood pressure cuff. They should not be homeless, recently hospitalized for psychiatric reasons, pregnant, prisoners, opioid-dependent or have certain severe medical conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a mobile health application called USeeBP as part of the UChicago Medicine Remote-Patient Monitoring Hypertension Management Program. It aims to see if this app can help improve blood pressure control in African Americans with unmanaged hypertension.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using a mobile health application rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience issues related to technology use such as privacy concerns or stress from monitoring.
