Utilizing Consumer Health Informatics to Support Management of Hypertension by Clinical Pharmacists in Primary Care

July 13, 2020 updated by: Lorraine Buis, University of Michigan
The purpose of this research study is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the use of a mobile pharmacist-led intervention that incorporates home BP monitoring and medication reminders with patients recruited from a primary care setting, as well as identify challenges and potential solutions to broader implementation of a mobile pharmacist-led home-based BP monitoring intervention in primary care clinics through key stakeholder interviews.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have a smart phone compatible with mobile intervention
  • Have been previously diagnosed with hypertension
  • Have uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 140 and/or diastolic blood pressure > 90 on repeat measurement)
  • Be under the care of a primary care physician at the recruitment clinic
  • Be taking at least one antihypertensive medication
  • Be English speaking

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients under the care of a clinical pharmacist for hypertension management, or under the care of a cardiologist

  • Patients with other serious medical conditions (e.g., stroke, dementia) that may affect their ability to self-monitor blood pressure
