Evaluation of the Effect of an APP in Improving Treatment Adherence in Hypertensive Patients in Hypertension Ambulatory

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Brief Summary: Through the App, the user will have the opportunity to connect directly with the health professional, clarify doubts and manage the treatment of their hypertension.

Detailed Description
-----------------
To evaluate treatment adherence and blood pressure reduction, through the HiperCross App, between two groups of hypertensive patients in a Hypertension Public Ambulatory in Porto Alegre. The investigators hope to identify better adherence to treatment, as well as a significant reduction in blood pressure, all of these results will be better evaluated using the HiperCross application.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Blood pressure value | systolic Blood pressure and dyastolic Blood pressure | 15 minutes | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Morisky scale | Medication adherence. The Morisky scale condition and medication specific assessment: 1) measures the level of adherence an medication, 2) measures the severity of Major Depressive Disorder, a determinant of non-adherence 3) identifies why the patient is not taking their medication, 4) determines the risk between non-adherence to BP measures of disease control. 0-1 = Low motivation; 2-3 = High motivation / 0-1 = Low knowledge; 2-3 = High knowledge | 15 minutes |
