Telehealth & Remote Measurement Technologies to Improve Medication Adherence in Hypertension

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypertension

In brief

This study focuses on an important patient behavior, medication-taking, and important physician behaviors: promoting medication regimen adherence in patients and appropriately modifying therapy when existing therapy results in inadequate therapeutic effect. The study will also explore the caregivers' (clinicians) behavior after relevant information about their patients' medication adherence and blood pressure control has been provided to them. The investigators focus on behavior change for patients and physicians and seek to change their behaviors to improve the health care delivery process and outcomes. The study aims at facilitating tertiary prevention of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and reno-vascular diseases by promoting better blood pressure control.
