A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of a mobile health intervention aimed at managing hypertension in survivors of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). A total of 140 participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving the mobile health intervention, which includes daily blood pressure monitoring through the WeRISE app and regular follow-up calls for medication adjustments, and the other receiving standard care from their physicians. The study will track participants for 26 weeks to assess the control of hypertension at specified intervals. The intervention emphasizes education on hypertension management and lifestyle modifications, such as the DASH diet.
