Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to examine if a mobile phone-based self-report system, using the patient's own mobile phone, will improve adherence to treatment of hypertension and lead to personal involvement of the patient in the treatment.
Interventions
DEVICEMobile phone-based self-report system, electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure (e-PROM)
To test an electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure (e-PROM) intended to assess patients' daily perceptions of symptoms and wellbeing, as well as self-measured blood pressure, treatment side-effects and medicine intake; * Explore patient interactions (learning and understanding) with an internet-reporting system providing structured feedback of e-PROM results to examine if such feedback is useful in improving adherence; * Explore patient-physician/nurse interactions to examine if structured feedback of e-PROM results serves as a useful complement to support consultations regarding treatment monitoring and adherence.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adherence to antihypertensive medication | 8 weeks | Adherence to antihypertensive medication will be checked through a question in the cell phone and evaluation of patient´s use of antihypertensive medication will be checked from the National Prescribed Drug Register of drugs. Twenty patient-physician/nurse consultations will be audio/video-recorded at regularly scheduled appointments to obtain authentic evidence of the use of the self-reports in clinical practice. The outcomes will include blood pressure measurement, registration of self-reported symptoms and discourse analyses. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Systolic blood pressure | 8 weeks | Change in systolic blood pressure |
