Assessment of Hypertension Control Among Adults Participating in a Mobile Technology Blood Pressure Self-management Program.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

It is unclear whether mobile technology hypertension self-management programs are associated with blood pressure (BP) control.

Objective

To examine whether engagement with a hypertension self-management program with a BP monitor and connected smartphone application with clinically based digital coaching was associated with BP control during a follow-up period of as long as 3 years.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study enrolled US adults with elevated BP or hypertension between January 1, 2015, and July 1, 2020. The hypertension self-management program was provided through the participant's (or their spouse's) employer health plan.

Exposures
