Summary

This study tested a mobile app called USeeBP in 31 African American adults with poorly controlled high blood pressure.

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.
