Summary

This pilot study tests whether checking blood pressure at home and talking to a pharmacist weekly by phone can help manage uncontrolled hypertension after an emergency department visit. Twenty-four participants will be split into two groups: one receives the home monitoring and telehealth program, the other gets usual care. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable for patients.

Active substance: Remote blood pressure monitoring and pharmacist-led telehealth
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could offer a practical way to help people control their blood pressure after an emergency room visit, reducing the risk of heart problems.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study with only 24 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It is testing feasibility, not yet proven to improve health outcomes.
