About this study

This study seeks to evaluate the impact of a remote patient monitoring (RPM)-specific tech-enabled community health worker workforce on the use of RPM for the management of hypertension among Latinx patients. This study is a step-wedge randomized controlled trial that aims to assess the effectiveness and implementation of RPM-enabled community health workers (CHWs) compared to standard of care RPM hypertension management on blood pressure reduction and evaluate the implementation of the RPM-enabled CHWs for hypertension (HTN) management. The study aims to examine adoption, acceptability, fidelity, cost, sustainability, and equity as outcomes of implementation effectiveness.

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