Official title
Remote Postpartum Blood Pressure Monitoring and Cardiovascular Education to Reduce Emergency Department Visits, Re-admissions and Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Hypertensive Disorder of Pregnancy
About this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if patient education and regular text reminders are a feasible intervention to engage patients and reduce post partum hypertension. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does a structured program reduce the occurrence of postpartum hypertension, ED visits, hospital readmissions, and adverse outcomes?
