Can a home BP monitor and a support team close the hypertension gap for black patients?
NCT ID NCT06527794
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study enrolls 864 Black adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure to see if a home monitoring program with pharmacist and community health worker support works better than usual clinic care. Participants will either get a home BP monitor plus remote medication management and social support, or standard care with a home monitor. The main goal is to see how many achieve blood pressure below 130 mmHg after 12 months.
