New study tests smart blood pressure monitoring to protect new moms

This study tests a cloud-connected blood pressure monitoring program for new mothers with high blood pressure disorders. The goal is to see if remote monitoring helps more women track their blood pressure after giving birth and reduces hospital readmissions. About 540 pregnant and postpartum women with hypertension will use a home device that sends readings to their doctors. The program aims to improve care and address racial disparities in postpartum outcomes.
