About this study
The purpose of this research is to test the effect of two digital health interventions on cardiovascular health and subclinical cardiac dysfunction in postpartum individuals after pregnancies complicated by new-onset hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP). All participants will undergo echocardiography and have their blood pressure/weight captured at 3 months and 12 months postpartum. If randomized to the intervention arm, the participant will be given a subscription to a mobile health application and a digital blood pressure monitoring system, and asked to utilize these at home during the one year of the study along with usual care. If randomized to the control arm, the participant will receive care as usual.
