Description
We are conducting a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of Moms@Home, an mHealth mobile app designed to support home blood pressure monitoring in pregnancy through storytelling videos, vs. enhanced standard care. We plan to enroll 100 pregnant women (50% from racial/ethnic minority groups) with gestational or chronic HTN to determine whether Moms@Home vs. enhanced standard care (BP monitor, diary) improves HBPM adherence (primary outcome). The project also includes a sustainability component to provide at-home blood pressure cuffs for participants following the study.
