What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Mobile phone-based self-report system, electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure (e-PROM)Device

    To test an electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure (e-PROM) intended to assess patients' daily perceptions of symptoms and wellbeing, as well as self-measured blood pressure, treatment side-effects and medicine intake;

    • Explore patient interactions (learning and understanding) with an internet-reporting system providing structured feedback of e-PROM results to examine if such feedback is useful in improving adherence;
    • Explore patient-physician/nurse interactions to examine if structured feedback of e-PROM results serves as a useful complement to support consultations regarding treatment monitoring and adherence.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adherence to antihypertensive medication

    Adherence to antihypertensive medication will be checked through a question in the cell phone and evaluation of patient´s use of antihypertensive medication will be checked from the National Prescribed Drug Register of drugs. Twenty patient-physician/nurse consultations will be audio/video-recorded at regularly scheduled appointments to obtain authentic evidence of the use of the self-reports in clinical practice. The outcomes will include blood pressure measurement, registration of self-reported symptoms and discourse analyses.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Systolic blood pressure

    Change in systolic blood pressure

    Measured: 8 weeks

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01510301, which also lists 8 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Sep 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
