This study aimed to assess the feasibility of integrating an innovative mHealth intervention into clinical and community settings to improve blood pressure (BP) control among African American patients. Results included a decrease in the mean systolic and diastolic BPs of the 7 patients by 6.5 mm Hg (P=.15) and 2.8 mm Hg (P=.78), respectively, at the immediate post intervention assessment. A culturally tailored mHealth app reinforced by CHW support may improve hypertension self-management among under-resourced African American individuals.
