New app helps patients and doctors team up to lower blood pressure
NCT ID NCT06124716
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new app called COACH that helps patients and their doctors work together to control high blood pressure. The app connects home blood pressure readings to the patient's medical record and sends reminders based on behavioral science. About 550 adults with high blood pressure will use the app for 6 months to see if it helps more people reach their blood pressure goals.
