First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a mobile app called USeeBP in 31 African American adults with poorly controlled high blood pressure. Participants used the app alongside their usual remote monitoring program to track blood pressure readings at home. The goal was to see if the app could help improve blood pressure control and medication adherence.

What this could lead to
If successful, this app could offer a simple, low-cost way for African American adults to better control their blood pressure at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early proof-of-concept study with only 31 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app only helps track health data, not treat the condition directly.
