In brief

High blood pressure is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular and kidney disease, yet is uncontrolled in half of affected individuals, and specifically older adults. The investigators have developed an automated program for patient education and personalized assistance of systematic home BP self-monitoring. Reports are sent to primary care providers at regular intervals. This investigation will collect pilot data on feasibility and effectiveness in older adults with and without a caregiver.
