The LINKED-HEARTS Program tests whether combining home blood pressure monitoring with support from community health workers and pharmacists can better help people manage high blood pressure, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. Some participants will receive a home blood pressure monitor and usual care from their doctor. Others will receive the same monitor plus extra support: trained community health workers who help with self-management education, a pharmacist who provides telehealth visits to review medications, and a mobile app that sends your blood pressure readings to your care team.
Many people with high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease struggle to keep these conditions under control, especially in underserved communities. This trial wants to see whether adding community health workers and pharmacists to regular doctor care can help more people achieve better health outcomes.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups receive a home blood pressure monitor and training on how to use it. The "usual care" group continues seeing their regular doctor. The "LINKED-HEARTS" group gets extra support: community health workers who call to help with managing your conditions, a pharmacist who meets with you by video to review your medications, and a mobile app that automatically sends your blood pressure readings to your care team so they can see how you're doing between office visits. The study lasts up to 24 months.
