Data-driven Personalization for Inclusive Outreach and Equitable Outcomes in a Digital Health Intervention for Hypertension Management: A Prospective Observational Study
The purpose of the proposed observational study is to explore the relations between data-driven personalization and equitable health outcomes in a digital health intervention (DHI) for hypertension management. In the current intervention, behavioral reinforcement learning is applied to personalize intervention content to maximize the behavioral outcomes of three target behaviors critical for effective hypertension management: clinical encounters, medication adherence, and self-monitoring of blood pressure (SMBP).
