African Americans experience hypertension at a higher-than-average rate. Several studies argue that suboptimal blood pressure control is the leading cause of hypertension-related comorbidities, and medication non-adherence is the key attribute. Those who suffer from hypertension must take precautions to control their blood pressure. It is now possible to track medication adherence behavior using technology devices. There is a need to promote the adoption of mobile health applications among African Americans through education, support, and accountability. The purpose of this study is to improve blood pressure control among African American adults aged 21-70 years with hypertension by using the mobile health application (Medisafe) as a medication adherence reminder and an educational intervention. A convenience sample of 30 African Americans participated in an eight-week study program. Participants were educated on the use of the Medisafe app to help control high blood pressure and were supported with weekly phone calls. Paired t-test and McNemar test were the statistical tests used to analyze continuous and dichotomous outcomes, respectively. There was a statistically significant decrease of 15.3 mm Hg (SD=6.29) in systolic blood pressure and a statistically significant reduction of 13.03 (SD=6.65) mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure following the intervention. Furthermore, there was a significant increase in the percentage of patients who scored >=80% on the Hill-Bone Medication Adherence Scale (HB-MAS) post-intervention.
