Post-intervention qualitative assessment of mobile health technology to manage hypertension among Ghanaian stroke survivors

Stroke is a leading cause of death in Africa and a key modifiable risk factor for the index and recurrent stroke is through the adequate management of blood pressure. Recent guidelines encourage management beyond clinic settings, yet implementation of these guidelines can be challenging, especially in resource constrained regions, such as in Sub-Saharan Africa. Mobile health technology may offer an innovative and cost-effective approach to improve BP monitoring and facilitate adherence to antihypertensive medications.
