Mobile Health Program for Rural Hypertension

This study is testing a mobile health program designed to help people in rural areas manage high blood pressure (hypertension). You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, live in one of 48 specific rural counties in Pennsylvania, and have uncontrolled high blood pressure. Participants will either use a coaching application that provides education and support for home blood pressure monitoring, or use a smartphone with the WebMD app and home blood pressure monitoring. The researchers will measure changes in your blood pressure over 6 months to see if the program is successful. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
