简要总结
Family Medicine patients with uncontrolled hypertension will be given a Bluetooth enabled home blood pressure machine to monitor their blood pressure every day for 6 weeks. The blood pressure results will be sent automatically to the patient's electronic medical record via applications on their iPhone. Study pharmacists will follow-up with the patients once per week via a telehealth appointment using the app VSee, where the blood pressure results will be reviewed. The pharmacists will also counsel the patients on lifestyle modifications in order to improve blood pressure.
