The study aims to standardize and test a storytelling approach to promote HBPM and improve BP management and pregnancy-specific outcomes in pregnant women with Hypertension (HTN). The study will integrate three components to improve BP care and outcomes: 1) the Moms@Home mobile app to promote HBPM through storytelling videos and a patient dashboard of BP data, 2) a digital BP monitor for HBPM, and 3) an HBPM report that curates and shares key health data with the right provider at the right time. Designed by and for pregnant women with HTN across racial/ethnic groups, the Moms@Home intervention is novel because it leverages digital health, behavior change techniques, and culturally relevant storytelling to improve HTN self-care while facilitating patient/caregiver communication through an HBPM report. Investigators are conducting a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of Moms@Home vs. enhanced standard care, with plans to enroll 100 pregnant women (50% from racial/ethnic minority groups) with gestational or chronic HTN to determine whether Moms@Home vs. enhanced standard care (BP monitor, diary) improves HBPM adherence (primary outcome) and to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability of the intervention.
