Home-based blood pressure monitoring using the AHOMKA care model: a longitudinal single-group pilot study in Accra
The encouraging trend in BP outcomes and high response rate from this pilot study provides evidence for further investigation involving the assessment of the effectiveness of the AHOMKA care model while culturally adapting the model to the Ghanaian context. In the spectrum of hypertension interventions, AHOMKA has the potential to ease the burden on the public health system.
