Telehealth and remote blood pressure management for pregnant women with chronic high blood pressure

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

Pregnant women with chronic hypertension are assigned to either alternating telehealth visits with remote blood pressure monitoring plus five health coaching sessions or to standard in-person clinic visits. Telehealth participants alternate telehealth and clinic visits every two weeks until pregnancy week 31 and receive five phone or video coaching sessions through week 36, while the control group follows usual in-person care. The study focuses on feasibility outcomes (willingness to enroll, completion rate, adherence to monitoring) and also explores safety outcomes related to blood pressure control and pregnancy complications through delivery. Participation continues until the baby is delivered and requires the ability to use telehealth technology and plan to deliver at the study hospital.
