Phone app helps patients with mood disorders stick to blood pressure meds

This study tests whether a personalized mobile health app (iTAB-CV) plus self-monitoring helps people with bipolar disorder or major depression take their blood pressure medication more regularly and lower their blood pressure. About 176 adults aged 21-80 with both conditions and high blood pressure will be randomly assigned to use the app plus self-monitoring or self-monitoring alone. The goal is to see if the app improves medication adherence and reduces systolic blood pressure.
