Summary
This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) wellness program can help Black women with high blood pressure reduce stress and improve heart health. Sixty Black women in South Florida will either use a five-week VR program or receive standard educational materials. Researchers will measure changes in stress, sleep, and blood pressure to see if the VR approach works.
