BP of the study participants

	Study participants (n = 29)	Acceptance of app treatment recommendations (n = 16)	Non‐acceptance of app treatment recommendations (n = 13)	P value*
Baseline SBP, mmHg	153 ± 11	150 ± 12	157 ± 9	0.1
Baseline DBP, mmHg	90 ± 7	88 ± 7	91 ± 6	0.2
SBP at 6 months, mmHg	143 ± 22	137 ± 20	152 ± 21	0.05
DBP at 6 months, mmHg	85 ± 9	81 ± 8	89 ± 9	0.02
SBP change after 6 months, mmHg	−10 ± 20	−14 ± 20	−5 ± 21	0.3
DBP change after 6 months, mmHg	−5 ± 9	−7 ± 9	−2 ± 9	0.1
BP control (SBP < 140 and DBP < 90 mmHg) at 6 months	13 (45%)	10 (63%)	3 (23%)	0.06

All continuous variables are summarized as mean ± SD and compared using independent t‐test. Discrete values are summarized as N (percentage) and compared using Fisher’s exact test.

BP, blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

^* P values for comparison between participants whose clinicians accepted the app treatment recommendations vs. those whose clinicians did not.
