About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether a mobile health program to help people manage high blood pressure is practical and acceptable to them. It is for adults age 18 or older whose high blood pressure is not under control. The results will help researchers plan a future study.

The investigators will pilot test a hypertension self-management intervention for feasibility and acceptability. The investigators will enroll adults (age ≥18) with uncontrolled hypertension, identified from the electronic health record. In this feasibility trial, the research aim is to explore trial design, participant acceptability of the intervention and outcome measures, and to generate data to inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
