NCT ID NCT04223934
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence system called optima4BP can improve blood pressure control in people with hypertension. The AI analyzes a patient's medications and recommends the best drug adjustments—adding, removing, replacing, or changing doses. Researchers will compare the AI-guided approach to standard care over six months, measuring blood pressure changes and side effects.
