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.
