Summary
This study tests whether a mobile health program, including self-measured blood pressure monitoring and help scheduling doctor visits, can lower blood pressure better than usual care. It enrolls adults who have very high blood pressure during a safety-net emergency department visit. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce future heart attacks, strokes, and dementia.
