Engaging Home-monitored Assessment to Navigate Clinical Decision-making

Overview

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.

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.
