Pressure Points: 5 days, 60 seconds a day.
Small lessons. Quick check-ins. A calmer heart. Learn one thing each day about your blood pressure — and what to do about it.
Your plant
Finish a day to grow a leaf. Missed a day? That’s okay — your plant waits for you.

Categories follow the American Heart Association. One reading is a snapshot — your care team looks at many readings over time.
Why this works
| Evidence basis | Retrieval practice and spaced repetition improve long-term recall more than re-reading (testing effect; Roediger & Karpicke). Short, single-idea lessons reduce cognitive load. Home blood pressure self-monitoring is recommended by the AHA and supports better control when paired with action steps. Plain, grade 5–6 language helps people with limited health literacy. |
|---|---|
| BCTs (BCT Taxonomy v1) | 4.1 Instruction on how to perform the behavior · 2.3 Self-monitoring of behavior · 2.6 Biofeedback (reading coach) · 7.1 Prompts/cues · 8.1 Behavioral practice/rehearsal · 10.4 Social reward (gentle praise) · 1.4 Action planning (Day 5). |
| COM-B target | Capability (psychological): knowing numbers and how to measure. Motivation (reflective): “I can do this.” Opportunity: cues tied to daily routines. |
| Ethical engagement | No loss-framing, no streak-shaming, no countdown pressure. Missing a day costs nothing. Rewards are a growing plant, not points to buy. |
| Persona | “Andre, 52” — newly diagnosed, works shifts, reads on his phone in short breaks, distrusts long pamphlets. Simulated persona testing (not patients) flagged “sodium” and “hypertension” as jargon; both were replaced. |
| How HealthLiteracyCopilot would make it | Source: the organization’s approved hypertension guide → HealthLiteracyCopilot would split it into 1-idea cards, write quiz items with distractors drawn from common misconceptions, check every card against locked clinical facts, assess readability per card, and send the course through MLR/clinical review. Spanish and other languages use the same structure. |
| What a pilot would measure | Proximal: quiz accuracy on Day 5 recap, self-efficacy item, readings logged. Distal (measured by the organization in its own systems): BP control (HEDIS CBP), medication adherence (PDC for RAS antagonists). Measures a pilot would track, not results or promised effects. |
