Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to test different approaches to monitor medication adherence in hypertension patients, leveraging the NIH-funded Way to Health platform. Patients with poor blood pressure control will be recruited from the University of Pennsylvania Health System practices and offered remote monitoring with electronic pill bottles, bidirectional text messaging or usual care. Our aim is to analyze and compare the effects of remote monitoring with electronic pill bottles versus bidirectional messaging on blood pressure reduction after 4 months.
