Official title

REACH BP: REmote Physical ACtivity Intervention for High Blood Pressure Postpartum

Overview

The purpose of this intervention is to help new mothers who had elevated blood pressure during pregnancy become more physically active after birth. The investigators will connect data from FitBits to the electronic health record. Women will then get weekly messages with feedback and goals to help them stay active. The investigators will test if the intervention improves step counts and blood pressure after pregnancy. The investigators will also test if the intervention is feasible and enjoyed by postpartum women.

Interventions

  • Behavioral Patient Portal Messaging
    Participants will receive weekly messages via their patient portal including feedback on their step counts and step count goals based on data from their FitBits
  • Behavioral FitBit EHR Linkage
    Participants will receive FitBits and link this step count data with the Electronic Health Record (EHR)

Primary outcome measures

  • Feasibility of Recruitment [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the 24 week intervention]
  • Feasibility of Participant Retention [Time frame: At study weeks 12 and 24]
  • Feasibility of FitBit+EHR linkage [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the 24 week intervention]
  • Feasibility of Intervention Messaging [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the 24 week intervention]
  • Acceptability of the Intervention [Time frame: Study week 24]
