The PCORnet Blood Pressure Home Monitoring Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Smartphone-linked HBPM and associated app and Standard HBPM for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 2,238 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
The PCORnet Blood Pressure Home Monitoring (BP HOME) Study is a patient-level randomized controlled trial that will compare the effectiveness of home blood pressure monitoring (HPBM) with versus without a linked Smartphone application ("app") for helping patients with uncontrolled hypertension achieve a reduction in systolic blood pressure. The trial will be conducted within the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet), which supports a research network that enables distributed querying of EHR data in a common data model. It will also use the Eureka Research Platform, an online research platform hosted by UCSF that supports eConsent, online surveys, and data collection from devices such as HBPMs. Data from these two data sources will be used together to accomplish the study aims. Given that HBPM is the guideline-recommended standard of care (without specification of Smartphone linkage), the HPBM devices and the app are all commercially available and currently in use, and that clinicians, with input from patients, will maintain full control of how BP is clinically managed, we believe participation in the project poses minimal risk to participants.

Timeline
Interventions
Participants in the Smartphone-linked arm of the study will receive an Omron 786N Home Blood Pressure Monitor (HBPM) that can be linked to the Omron Connect app via Bluetooth. They will also receive instructions about how to use their device and download the app and will be provided with publicly available guidelines for HBPM. Participants will be instructed to use their device and app to take readings which they can track over time and share with their provider using the app.
Participants in the Standard arm of the study will receive an Omron 785N Home Blood Pressure Monitor (HBPM), instructions about how to use their device and publicly available guidelines for HBPM. They will be instructed to use their device to take readings which they can track over time and share with their provider.
