Improving Blood Pressure Control with Remote Monitoring
Implementing Remote Patient Monitoring to Improve Hypertension Control in a Primary Care Network
This project helps people with high blood pressure manage their condition better by using home blood pressure monitoring with support from nurses.

What this research studies
We are exploring how to best use home blood pressure monitoring, where you measure your own blood pressure and share the results with your care team. A team of nurses will help patients get started with this monitoring, keep track of their readings, and give feedback to both patients and their doctors about their blood pressure control. This approach aims to make it easier for patients and providers to adjust medications and improve overall blood pressure management. We want to find the most effective way to bring this helpful tool to more people in primary care clinics.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Patients with high blood pressure who receive care in a primary care setting and are willing to monitor their blood pressure at home would be ideal candidates.
Not a fit: Patients whose blood pressure is already well-controlled or who are unable to consistently monitor their blood pressure at home may not receive direct benefit from this specific program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to better blood pressure control for many patients, reducing their risk of heart disease and stroke.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that home blood pressure monitoring with clinical support can improve blood pressure control.
