Development of a Patient-Facing Clinical Decision Support Application for Hypertension.
Article in Applied clinical informatics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hypertension is a chronic condition defined by persistent high blood pressure (BP) that contribute to significant morbidity and mortality. Evidence-based clinical guidelines provide recommendations for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. These recommendations are frequently incorporated into clinical decision support (CDS) tools used by clinicians. CDS tools can also be oriented toward patients but careful attention to the development process is required to make a useful, usable, and engaging digital health intervention.We sought to design, develop, and optimize a patient-facing CDS application for hypertension, which emphasizes home-based monitoring and collaboration with the health care team around treatment goals.We conducted an iterative, user-centered design process to develop the application. First, we identified user needs, key components, and the technological platform. Then, we developed the integrated application and performed extensive testing to validate and optimize performance and usefulness. After identifying issues in the testing processes, we performed an additional round of optimization development.We have completed development of the COACH (Collaborative Approach to Controlling High Blood Pressure) web application using JAVA and SMART on FHIR technologies with a focus on interoperability. The COACH application supports home-based BP monitoring and provides evidence-based, patient-centered CDS incorporating education, counseling, and treatment recommendations. Early results showed that we were able to increase usability, address data quality concerns, and demonstrate improved BP control in a pilot study.Extensive preparatory research and user-centered design processes enabled the successful development of a novel tool for enabling management of high BP. The tool uses data from the patient's medical record and ambulatory BP monitoring to provide patient-centered CDS recommendations. We are now evaluating the tool through a multisite clinical trial.
