The NextGen Precision Health Discovery Series provides learning opportunities for UM System faculty and staff across disciplines, the statewide community and our other partners to learn about the scope of precision health research and identify potential collaborative opportunities. The series consists of monthly lectures geared toward a broad multidisciplinary audience so all can participate and appreciate the spectrum of precision health efforts.
Information about this upcoming talk, including continuing education, is available below.

Description
The leading cause of death and disability in the United States is heart disease (along with stroke), and the largest contributor is uncontrolled blood pressure. Over 40% of diagnosed and treated hypertension cases are still uncontrolled, despite the availability of affordable medications. There鈥檚 also a phenomenon called 鈥渨hite coat hypertension,鈥 where blood pressure readings tend to skew higher while patients are in the unfamiliar environment of a doctor鈥檚 office. As a result, it鈥檚 recommended that hypertension patients鈥 blood pressure data come from outside the clinic for diagnostic and monitoring purposes. So how do we incorporate home blood pressure data into clinical decision making and workflow?
Dr. Richelle Koopman鈥檚 research team has designed a secure system to manage at-home blood pressure readings, organizing large data sets on a graphic visual display. The goal is to give clinicians a powerful tool for quickly understanding the interplay between medications and symptoms over time. It also aims to give patients easy access to their health data in an understandable format, right in the patient portal. After rigorous testing, the system has demonstrated that it can improve accuracy for clinical judgments about whether hypertension is controlled, even when blood pressure readings have high variability.
澳门六合彩官网开奖 the Speaker
Dr. Richelle Koopman is professor and vice chair in the Department of Family and Community Medicine, a practicing family physician and Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians. She has been federally funded for the last 10 years to solve the tough problem of getting patient-generated home blood pressure into increasingly electronic clinician workflows so that it can be used for clinical decision making. This multidisciplinary work spans the disciplines of medicine, psychology, computer science, human factors engineering, decision science, informatics and implementation science. Dr. Koopman is an expert on clinical decision support, patient-generated health data and pragmatic trials, and has given trans-agency NIH grand rounds for their Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory. She currently serves as the president of the North American Primary Care Research Group, the premiere international research organization in her discipline.
