Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring and Hypertension Management in Kenya: A Feasibility Study (HBPT-K).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the feasibility of home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPT) in Kenya and explore its effects on blood pressure (BP) regulation, self-reported drug adherence, patient- and healthcare provider satisfaction, and required telemonitoring time investment.

Methods

Six-month single-arm interventional feasibility study. Hundred adults with newly diagnosed or known hypertension with an office BP > 140/90 mmHg were provided with a BP machine and were enrolled in an HBPT program. Primary outcome was BP control (% BP < 140/90 mmHg) between baseline and T = 6 months (SPRINT standardized in-office blood pressure measurement). Secondary outcomes included self-reported adherence (MARS-5 scale), patient- and healthcare provider satisfaction (TUQ and MAUQ questionnaires
