Electronic health records-integrated mobile health interventions in primary care to improve hypertension management in Black/African American populations: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Black/African American individuals face twice the risk of hypertension compared to non-Hispanic Whites in the United States (US). A synergistic strategy integrating primary care with Electronic Health Records (EHR) and mobile health (mHealth) technologies may help address hypertension disparities. This unique strategy prioritizes early disease identification, improved care access, and self-management. However, limited research exists on how primary care can effectively integrate these components to reduce hypertension in Black/African American individuals. We aimed to (i) identify characteristics of Black/African American populations represented in EHR-driven mHealth interventions for hypertension management in primary care settings and (ii) identify the specific EHR-driven mHealth interve
