NCT ID NCT07754994
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a mobile app called bpMedManage-R designed to help older adults with mild cognitive impairment who live alone manage their hypertension medication. Participants will use the app to set reminders and track their daily and weekly medication intake, with weekly check-ins from the research team. The goal is to see if the app improves their ability to take medications as prescribed and boosts their confidence in managing their health independently.
