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

Effects of Manually Recorded or Automatically Transmitted Home Blood Pressures With or Without Automated Patient Feedback on Hypertension Care

• Status: Not Yet Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 1,304 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Northwestern University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 84 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

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.

Conditions

• Hypertension (HTN)

Interventions

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