Summary

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.

Virtual Hypertension Clinic

In the VHC group, patients will be ask to regularly measure blood pressure with the Stabil-o-Graph so that these readings are transmitted to Virtual Hypertension Clinic. The data will be reviewed weekly and the patient will receive feedback and intervention if needed at every 2 week interval to achieve blood pressure goal. Once they reach goal, the feedback will be less intense and given at four week intervals until the end of the study.
