Summary

This study is testing a new app called ENHANCe, which is designed to help family doctors manage patients with high blood pressure using readings taken at home.

Detailed description

The researchers want to find out if the app is easy to use in everyday clinic settings, whether doctors find it helpful and are willing to use it, and if it helps improve care. The study will involve 16 doctors and 100 patients with high blood pressure, split into two groups at two clinics. One group will use the ENHANCe app, which can read blood pressure data from different sources-including handwritten notes-and give doctors advice based on that information. The other group will receive regular care without the app. Over six months, researchers will collect feedback from doctors through surveys and group discussions at the end of the study. They'll also track how many people complete the study, how long clinic visits take, whether doctors follow the app's advice, and how well patients' blood pressure is controlled. The goal is to see if the app can help doctors make faster, better decisions and improve health outcomes for people managing their blood pressure at home.

Conditions

• Hypertension,Essential

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	ENHANCe app	ENHANCe app is a prototype; it is a smartphone based clinical decision support (CDS) tool to manage patients with hypertension using their home blood pressure. The app will scan patients' home BP records from paper or mobile phone, and provide a recommendation to the doctor on how to manage their blood pressure. The patient will not need to use the device during the study period. However, the recommendation from the ENHANCe app will be available to the doctor to manage your blood pressure during the study period if the patient is in the intervention group.
OTHER	Teaching and training	All patients will have access to online educational resources throughout the study. After recruitment, they will receive a nurse-led education on HBP monitoring. The research team will train all primary care physicians (PCPs) on managing patients with hypertension using HBP records.
OTHER	Usual care	Physicians manage patients using HBP records at their discretion
