All ARC OxTV projects with a self-management element
Featured project
Development of the MyPregnancyCare app
Apps, Databases, and Digital Health Helping Patients to Manage Their Own Conditions Self-managament
The My Pregnancy Care project aims to develop a comprehensive digital app to support women with hypertensive (high blood pressure) disorders during pregnancy, a condition affecting roughly 10% of pregnancies.
A Feasibility Trial of the MyPregnancyCare App
This feasibility trial explores a new approach to managing high blood pressure (hypertension) in pregnancy. It will test the real-world effects of women using our My Pregnancy Care app, developed in another ARC project.
Activity Changes in MULtiple long-term conditions To Identify Decline (MULTI)
The MULTI project explores how monitoring activity changes in older adults with multiple long-term conditions can help detect early signs of health decline, using technologies like smartphone apps and fitness watches to create an innovative self-management intervention.

Empowering New Mums: Taking Charge of Your Blood Pressure After Pregnancy (SNAP2)
The SNAP2 project helps new mothers manage blood pressure after pregnancy to reduce long-term cardiovascular risks through self-management techniques, emphasizing health equity and involving a diverse group of women in its research and trials.
The OSCAR Study: Optimising Structured Medication Reviews
OSCAR focuses on optimising Structured Medication Reviews in England, investigating their implementation and impact on patient safety and treatment effectiveness, aiming to enhance care quality for those with long-term conditions.
The role of lifestyle interventions in high-risk pregnancies
This project explores lifestyle interventions for high-risk pregnancies, particularly focusing on the DAPHNY App to support women with hypertension, aiming to promote healthy behaviours and enhance prenatal care.
The SHIP Study: A Service Evaluation and Mixed Methods Implementation Research Study of Hypertension Plus
The SHIP Study evaluates the Hypertension Plus system for self-monitoring high blood pressure, assessing its integration into UK primary care to improve patient outcomes and inform future health policy.
Understanding the rapid implementation of self-monitoring of blood pressure during pregnancy due to the Covid-19 pandemic
This research examines the rapid adoption of self-monitoring blood pressure during pregnancy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to improve antenatal care by identifying barriers and facilitators to its successful implementation.
Using Behavioural Insights to Improve Effectiveness of Digital Weight Loss Interventions
Researchers from the University of Oxford and Second Nature, a digital weight management service provider, are collaborating to develop and test new features to improve digital weight loss programmes using behavioural science insights.
