Hypertension Management Program
Blood pressure management through medication adherence, at-home monitoring, preventive care nudges, and telehealth access — all FSA-eligible, all delivered at the right moment.
What is Hypertension?
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is defined as systolic reading ≥130 mmHg or diastolic reading ≥80 mmHg (ACC/AHA 2017 guidelines). It is a leading risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease — and it rarely presents symptoms until damage is already done.
The good news: lifestyle changes and consistent medication management can lower systolic BP by 5–20 mmHg. NudgeWell's program focuses on the two highest-leverage actions: medication adherence and at-home monitoring.
How NudgeWell Helps
NudgeWell sends behaviorally-informed nudges tied to your specific benefits profile. Here's how each layer works:
📍 Medication Adherence Nudges
Missing doses is the primary driver of uncontrolled hypertension. NudgeWell sends personalized reminders aligned to your schedule — timed to existing behavioral patterns, not generic daily alerts.
AI-generated, behaviorally-timed📈 Blood Pressure Monitor FSA Push
At-home monitors qualify for FSA reimbursement. NudgeWell surfaces this when an FSA balance exists and the plan covers DME — typically year-end, but also triggered by low engagement with preventive care.

Find a Provider Near You
For ongoing BP management, a primary care provider or cardiologist is the right starting point. NudgeWell's provider directory uses NPI geo-matching to find in-network providers in your area.
You can use the Google Fit integration to share step and activity data with your care team — helping them understand lifestyle context alongside your BP readings.
Your Action Steps
- Check your FSA balance. If you have remaining FSA funds, a blood pressure monitor is a high-impact, no-hassle purchase before year-end.
- Schedule your annual physical. If it's been over 12 months, NudgeWell has already sent or will send a preventive care reminder. Use it.
- Set a daily medication reminder. Consistency drives outcomes. If you're missing doses, talk to your doctor about a simpler regimen or a combination pill.
- Connect Google Fit. Activity data helps your care team understand context — and may unlock personalized nudges in the NudgeWell portal.
