- Original description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of automatically-generated medical advice to patients about to their home blood pressure monitoring results sent through patient portal messages compared to no automated advice and the effectiveness of automated transmission of remotely-obtained blood pressure values compared to self-reported values on systolic blood pressure at 1-year follow up in patients with uncontrolled hypertension whose physicians or advance practice providers provide primary care at Northwestern Medicine. Persistence of effects through 18 months will also be assessed.Read full original descriptionShow less
Effects of Manually Recorded or Automatically Transmitted Home Blood Pressures With or Without Automated Patient Feedback on Hypertension Care
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of automatically-generated medical advice to patients about to their home blood pressure monitoring results sent through patient portal messages compared to no automated advice and the effectiveness of automated transmission of remotely-obtained blood pressure values compared to self-reported values on systolic blood pressure at 1-year follow up in patients with uncontrolled hypertension whose physicians or advance practice providers provide primary care at Northwestern Medicine. Persistence of effects through 18 months will also be assessed.
