Systematic Monitoring and Remote Testing of Blood Pressure in Postpartum Women
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Remote Blood Pressure Cuff, Blood pressure monitoring smart phone app, BabyScripts™, and 1 other intervention for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 1,607 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to find out the usefulness of checking a woman's blood pressure remotely (at home) for 3 weeks after being discharged from the hospital after having a baby (or babies). Some women can develop hypertension, or high blood pressure, after delivery even if they have not had this problem before or during their pregnancy. Untreated or unknown high blood pressure can lead to medical complications, and if severe, can be life threatening. Monitoring, or checking, remote blood pressure after a woman has delivered her baby (or babies) has been suggested to be a better way to monitor blood pressures without having to stay in the hospital for a longer time after delivery. Other researchers report that women who have checked their blood pressure remotely after delivery found out that this was both possible and acceptable.
