Can a navigator boost blood pressure monitoring in pregnancy?
NCT ID NCT07691541
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether extra support from a navigator can help pregnant people with high blood pressure use a home monitoring program (Connected MOM) and follow up after giving birth. The trial includes about 2,000 participants who have a smartphone and speak English or Spanish. The goal is to see if the navigator improves enrollment, consistent use, and postpartum blood pressure checks compared to the standard program alone.
