Official title

Virtual Hypertension Clinic (VHC) Study

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial designed to determine whether blue tooth and telephone technology can be utilized to successfully relaying home blood pressure information electronically to healthcare providers so that timely and more frequent treatment interventions can be instituted to optimize and reach goal blood pressure level for an individual as compared to usual care. The primary study outcomes are improvement in systolic, diastolic, and blood pressure control and time to control blood pressure. Secondary outcomes are proportion of patients controlled to blood pressure goal at the end of the study, adherence to blood pressure monitoring and utilization of VHC model. If this is successful and cost-effective such technology and interventions could be utilized on large scale to improve the care and proportion of hypertensive patients achieving goal blood pressure in the United States.
