Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in Blood Pressure	Change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP).	Assessed at baseline and week 12
Primary	Participant Survey	A survey regarding usability and feedback about the intervention completed by participants. Questions 1 through 5 were rated on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree); question 6 was rated on a scale of 1 (extremely confident) to 5 (extremely doubtful).	12 weeks
Primary	Physician Survey	A survey regarding usability and feedback about the intervention completed by physicians. Physicians provided survey responses, but were not enrolled in the study. Questions 1, 2, and 3 were rated on a scale of 1 (strongly agree) to 7 (strongly disagree); question 4 was rated on a scale of 1 (extremely confident) to 5 (extremely doubtful); question 5 was rated on a scale of 1 (extremely pleased) to 7 (extremely displeased).	12 weeks
