ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a new way to help people in rural areas manage their high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. The researchers want to find out if a personalized approach, where doctors and patients work closely together, can improve how patients take care of their health and control their blood pressure over time. They will try different methods to see which ones work best for helping patients manage their condition effectively.

To participate in this study, you need to be between the ages of 65 and 80 and have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. You should live in a rural area and plan to stay there for at least a year. It's important that you are able to understand and communicate during the study, so participants should not have severe cognitive or communication challenges. If you join the trial, you can expect to engage in discussions with your doctor about your health and receive tailored support to help you manage your blood pressure better.
