First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a short digital education program can improve self-care and health literacy in people with high blood pressure. 166 adults aged 50 and older will attend two 15-20 minute sessions covering healthy habits and digital health tools. Researchers will compare their progress to a group that does not receive the education, measuring changes in behavior, motivation, and confidence after 4 weeks.
