Summary
This study will test whether giving primary care doctors easy-to-read reports from patients' Fitbits helps them counsel patients with high blood pressure to be more active. About 330 patients and their doctors will take part. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach can increase physical activity and improve blood pressure control.
