Automatically Transmitted Home Blood Pressure and Automated Patient Feedback in Hypertension Care: the AUTO 2 Trial

Part of paid clinical trials in Chicago, Illinois.

Sponsor
Northwestern University
Study ID
NCT07397260
Status
Enrolling By Invitation

Conditions

  • Hypertension (HTN)

Eligibility Criteria

Sex
ALL
Age
18 Years - 84 Years
Healthy Volunteers
Not accepted

Interventions

  • Self report of home measured blood pressure via patient EHR portal — OTHER
    Participants will be provided with a home blood pressure monitor and method to use the EHR portal to enter home collected blood pressures into the EHR.
  • Automated feedback about home blood pressure results — OTHER
    Patients will received periodic messages about the results of their home blood pressure monitoring with suggestions to consult with clinical care team when indicated.
  • Automated Transmission of Remotely Measured Blood Pressure — OTHER
    Participants will be provided with a blood pressure monitor and application to automatically transmit home blood pressures to their EHR record.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of automatically-generated medical advice to patients about to their home blood pressure monitoring results sent through patient portal messages compared to no automated advice and the effectiveness of automated transmission of remotely-obtained blood pressure values compared to self-reported values on systolic blood pressure at 1-year follow up in patients with uncontrolled hypertension whose physicians or advance practice providers provide primary care at Northwestern Medicine. Persistence of effects through 18 months will also be assessed.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Enhanced Usual Care
    Participants receive a blood pressure monitor and are encouraged to enter blood pressure results into their EHR patient portal.
  • Active Comparator: Automated Transmission of Remotely Monitored Blood Pressure
    Participants receive a blood pressure monitor and an application to directly transmit measurements to their EHR record.
  • Active Comparator: Automated Patient Feedback on Self Blood Pressure Monitoring
    Participants receive a blood pressure monitor and are encouraged to enter blood pressure results into their EHR patient portal. Participants receive messages through the EHR patient portal about their home blood pressure results.
  • Active Comparator: Automated Transmission of Remotely Monitored Blood Pressure and Automated Feedback
    Participants receive a blood pressure monitor and an application to directly transmit measurements to their EHR record. Participants receive messages through the EHR patient portal about their home blood pressure results.

Primary Outcome Measure
