Implementing an App-based Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring Program to Reduce Health Disparities Among Women With Hypertension During Pregnancy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating App-based remote blood pressure monitoring and text-message based remote blood pressure monitoring for Gestational Hypertension and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Remote postpartum blood pressure monitoring program with text messages has been shown to increase adherence to recommended postpartum blood pressure checks among those with hypertension at discharge from birth hospitalization, but these programs require medically trained professionals to respond to each individual text message. A bluetooth-enabled blood pressure cuff that synchs automatically a smartphone application that leverages Artificial Intelligence to provide tailored recommendations based on recorded blood pressure measurements--and can also provide on-demand education on hypertension--may be less costly way to provide similar support.

Interventions
Fully synched bluetooth-enabled remote blood pressure monitoring using a smartphone application. The digital health company, Twistle, has modified an existing postpartum hypertension pathway in their app according to our hospital's management algorithm.
Participants will receive automatic blood pressure cuffs and instructions as to how to upload their measurements to the Electronic Medical Record.
