Mobile Phone in Hypertension Management

The purpose of this study is to examine if a mobile phone-based self-report system, using the patient's own mobile phone, will improve adherence to treatment of hypertension and lead to personal involvement of the patient in the treatment.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosis of arterial hypertension
  • Prescribed antihypertensive treatment
  • Alert and oriented
  • Swedish-speaking
  • Access to a functioning cell phone
  • Agreeing to regular controls at the National Prescribed Drug Register of drugs

Treatment and study plan

Mobile phone-based self-report system, electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure (e-PROM)

Device

To test an electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure (e-PROM) intended to assess patients' daily perceptions of symptoms and wellbeing, as well as self-measured blood pressure, treatment side-effects and medicine intake;

  • Explore patient interactions (learning and understanding) with an internet-reporting system providing structured feedback of e-PROM results to examine if such feedback is useful in improving adherence;
  • Explore patient-physician/nurse interactions to examine if structured feedback of e-PROM results serves as a useful complement to support consultations regarding treatment monitoring and adherence.

Primary outcomes

  1. Adherence to antihypertensive medication

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    Adherence to antihypertensive medication will be checked through a question in the cell phone and evaluation of patient´s use of antihypertensive medication will be checked from the National Prescribed Drug Register of drugs. Twenty patient-physician/nurse consultations will be audio/video-recorded at regularly scheduled appointments to obtain authentic evidence of the use of the self-reports in clinical practice. The outcomes will include blood pressure measurement, registration of self-reported symptoms and discourse analyses.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Systolic blood pressure

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    Change in systolic blood pressure
