Mobile Health Program for Post-Preeclampsia Hypertension
United States50 participantsStarted 2026-06
Plain-language summary
Strategies targeted to optimize hypertension (HTN) control for midlife women after hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have not been studied, despite evidence of a critical need. This proposal targets the 10-20 years postpartum as a key time when women have subclinical cardiovascular (CV) sequelae of uncontrolled HTN and are primed for CV prevention interventions. Before proceeding with large-scale intervention trials of a home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) and coaching intervention following HDP, further pilot testing is necessary. The overarching hypothesis of this proposal is that a new monitoring and treatment paradigm utilizing HBPM combined with a virtual coaching intervention would be better than standard of care for mid-life women with prior HDP who develop HTN. Women will be assigned in an unblinded manner to the intervention or standard of care control group.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Women who had a history of HDP (either gestational HTN or preeclampsia) diagnosed by ACOG guidelines at the time of delivery at Magee-Womens Hospital between 2008 and 2015, thus 10 to 20 years from their index pregnancy complicated by HDP.
* Evidence of current stage 2 HTN (BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg with or without treatment with antihypertensive medication).
Exclusion Criteria:
* Known clinical CVD (prior myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, or peripheral arterial disease).
* Males will also be excluded from this study as it focuses on pregnancy related conditions.
* Children will be excluded as the study is only recruiting people who are 10-20 years postpartum.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
