The purpose of this study is to determine if monitored blood pressure paired with education reduces maternal mortality and morbidity during the post-partum period in a high-risk rural population of women.

Women with hypertension during pregnancy are at an increased risk of maternal mortality (death during or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy) and hypertension related morbidity. Black women, women with lower education and less access to health care resources also have increased maternal mortality and morbidity. This project will use Bluetooth enabled blood pressure devices to monitor blood pressure in a population of postpartum women at increased risk for maternal mortality and morbidity. We will compare the number of postpartum hypertensive incidences and severities to a population of women who did not have a postpartum blood pressure control intervention.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Signed informed consent in a postpartum woman between 18-45 years of age at the time of study enrollment
2. Hospitalized for delivery with a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy as defined by ACOG 2019 Guidelines (chronic hypertension, HELLP syndrome, eclampsia, preeclampsia, gestational hypertension or new onset postpartum hypertension).
3. Ability to understand English or Spanish
4. Reliable access to the Internet and a Bluetooth mobile device
5. Willingness to download Omron Connect App and ability to use blood pressure monitor

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Does not meet Inclusion criteria
2. Postpartum or operative complication that prolongs hospital stay beyond postpartum day 10.
3. Patients who are currently participating in another clinical trial to evaluate a therapeutic intervention for control of blood pressure.

All women will receive a de-identified laminated notecard that has their study results (Type of hypertensive pregnancy, gestational age at delivery, discharged and current blood pressure medication, last study blood pressure, and readmission status) on it that can be shared with any new provider (including non-obstetrical). As stated in the study consent, a letter outlining the same information will also be sent to the obstetrician listed in the patient's medical record

Within 7 days of study completion each participant will receive their personal data as outlined in the study consent.

Each patient will be mailed their information.
