New study tests virtual care team to tackle stubborn high blood pressure
NCT ID NCT06899750
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a team of a remote pharmacist, social worker, and nurse, working with patients through a phone app, can help African American and Latinx adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure lower their numbers. Two hundred participants will either get this team-based support or mailed educational materials. The main goal is to see if more people drop their systolic blood pressure by at least 10 points after six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- E3 Multidisciplinary Team (remote pharmacist, social worker, nurse) plus a hypertension phone app
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical, team-based model to help more people with hard-to-control hypertension lower their blood pressure and reduce health risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage behavioral study (200 participants) focused on a specific population, so results may not apply broadly. Success depends on participants consistently using the app and following recommendations.
