Digital Hypertension Management for High Blood Pressure
(HrtEx Trial)
Trial Summary
The trial does not specify if you need to stop your current medications, but it requires that you are able to add or increase the dose of at least two specific types of blood pressure medications. It's best to discuss with the trial team to understand how your current medications fit into the study.
Research shows that using home blood pressure telemonitoring, which is part of digital hypertension management, helps people better control their blood pressure. This approach improves awareness and compliance with treatment, leading to better blood pressure management.
12345Research on digital hypertension management, including telemonitoring systems, shows it is generally safe for humans. Studies have not reported significant adverse events, and patients have shown good compliance with these systems.
56789The Digital Hypertension Management System is unique because it uses digital technology, like wearable devices and smartphone apps, to continuously monitor blood pressure at home and provide personalized remote treatment.
