First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining a Bluetooth blood pressure monitor with regular support from a community health worker can help Black women control high blood pressure after pregnancy. About 404 women will be randomly assigned to either this extra support or standard care. The goal is to see if more women reach a healthy blood pressure level and avoid serious problems like hospital stays.
