In brief

The study team is proposing a single arm intervention to test the effect of an electronic intervention on medication use among individuals with a prescription for hypertension/high blood pressure. The investigator proposes that technology like text messaging, email, web applications and mobile apps with proven, nurse intervention scripts, will lead to significant, cost-effective improvements in hypertension medication use.
