Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app called FAITH! can help African-American adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure lower their numbers and improve heart-healthy habits. About 100 participants will use the app or receive standard care, and their blood pressure and self-care will be tracked for up to 6 months. The goal is to see if the app is more effective than usual care for managing hypertension.
