Summary
This study tests a program that combines online education, a medication reminder app, and a home blood pressure monitor to help African American adults aged 50+ better manage their hypertension. Participants use these tools for 6 months while continuing their regular care. The goal is to see if this approach improves blood pressure control and quality of life, potentially reducing health gaps.

Active substance
Behavioral intervention: web-based education, Medisafe medication app, home blood pressure monitor, and nurse counseling
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer an effective way for African American older adults to better manage their blood pressure and reduce health disparities.
