While inpatient during the postpartum period, patients will be identified who were diagnosed with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy antepartum, intrapartum, or postpartum. These patients will be recruited prior to discharge home. This will be a randomized control trial, non-blinded. The study group will receive a mobile app for postpartum education and an integrated Wi-Fi connected blood pressure cuff for at-home monitoring for 16 days postpartum. The home BP monitoring will occur twice a day and study team will check the BPs twice a day and intervene by phone or text if necessary. The control group will be scheduled for blood pressure checks at the clinic between days 7-10. These groups will be compared with regard to identification of severe blood pressures (>/= 160/100), adherence to ACOG guidelines for blood pressure monitoring, timing of the identification and treatment of severe blood pressures, readmissions, and patient satisfaction.
