Show the study's own words
  • "National guidelines recommend blood pressure (BP) measurement 3-10 days after discharge and ≥1 preventive care visit within one year of delivery."
  • "RI-SPHERES will expand this SMBP program to provide app-based patient-informed educational content on HDP-specific preventive care and bidirectional communication with RI-SPHERES staff for one year postpartum."
Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

This is a hybrid type 1 non-inferiority implementation effectiveness trial among postpartum patients with hypertension (N=1536) that will test the hypothesis that RI-SPHERES (a technologically enabled collaborative care model) is non-inferior to a standard self-measured blood pressure program in terms of persistent hypertension at six weeks postpartum and preventive care receipt within one year of delivery.

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