Effectiveness of BP Remote Monitoring With Virtual Physician Management in Hypertensive Patients.
Hypertension, Stroke (CVA) or TIA

About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Hypertension focused on measuring remote patient monitoring, digital health monitoring, blood pressure monitoring
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Age 18 years or older. A history of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, or transient ischemic attack. The ability to report blood pressure values by phone (either a patient or designated caregiver may call to report values).
At least 2 BP measurements that are ≥140 mmHg systolic or ≥90 mmHg diastolic obtained on different days in the last 6 months in any setting (including at home, in clinic, or in the hospital setting).
The referring physician feels the patient would benefit from BP optimization. Consent to receive care from telehealth physicians available through the DailyDoctor monitoring platform.
English or Spanish speaking.
Exclusion Criteria:
Currently enrolled in another interventional research study Inability to comply with study protocol Have a planned surgical procedure during the study period Upper arm circumference > 20 inches Has diagnosis of end-stage renal disease (GFR < 15 mL/min), Serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL (176.8 μmol/L), or currently undergoing dialysis treatment (10) Women who are pregnant or who are planning to become pregnant during the study period.
Blood pressure reduction is not indicated (e.g. patients who have a high blood pressure target to augment cerebral perfusion).
Any other reason that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the person a poor candidate for participation in this study

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Hypertensive Patients Monitored Daily
Physicians utilize DailyDoctor remote monitoring platform to virtually monitor daily BP of patients. Physicians use their independent medical judgement to recommend any clinical follow up or adjustment in medications/prescriptions for any patients whose daily reporting of BP triggers an alert based on physician-driven alert thresholds.
