NCT ID NCT06783049

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a smart management system that uses a WeChat app and home devices like blood pressure monitors to help people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke avoid another one. About 4,490 participants will either get usual care or use the system after leaving the hospital. Researchers will check if the system reduces deaths, strokes, and other heart problems over one year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Cerebrovascular Disease Secondary Prevention Smart Management System (a WeChat-based applet with IoT devices like blood pressure monitors and glucose meters)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide an effective, low-cost way to help people avoid a second stroke or heart attack by better managing their health at home.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so results depend heavily on patient engagement. The trial is still recruiting, and success is not guaranteed.
