The \u201cLINKED-BP Program\u201d is a multi-level intervention linking home blood pressure (BP) monitoring with a mobile health application, support from community health workers (CHWs), and BP measurement training at primary care practices to improve BP. This study is part of the American Heart Association RESTORE (AddREssing Social Determinants TO pRevent hypErtension) Network.

The practices are randomly assigned to the intervention or the enhanced usual care arms. Patients in the LINKED-BP Program receive training on home BP monitoring, BP telemonitoring through the Sphygmo app, and CHW telehealth visits for education and counseling on lifestyle modification over 12 months.
