This study is looking at ways to help new mothers manage high blood pressure (hypertension) after pregnancy. It compares two approaches: RI-SPHERES and a standard self-measured blood pressure program. RI-SPHERES involves a care manager who helps you communicate through an app for your medical needs. The standard program uses a self-measured blood pressure program where you record your blood pressure readings in an online portal. The goal is to see if RI-SPHERES is just as good as the standard program in preventing long-lasting high blood pressure at six weeks postpartum and ensuring you receive preventive care within a year of delivery. The study is for women aged 18 to 60 who have experienced high blood pressure during or after pregnancy and live in Rhode Island. You also need to speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, or Haitian-Creole and own a smartphone. The study is currently recruiting about 1536 participants, but its overall status is unclear.
