AI vs. high blood pressure: smart software aims to personalize treatment
NCT ID NCT06828692
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors in China pick better blood pressure medications for their patients. Over 2,000 adults with high blood pressure will be treated at primary care clinics. Some clinics will use AI software that considers patient data and guidelines, while others will use standard care. The goal is to see if the AI tools help more patients reach their blood pressure targets faster and with fewer medications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Clinical decision support system (CDSS) using machine learning and hemodynamic profiles
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide doctors with a practical AI tool to personalize blood pressure medications, leading to better control and fewer complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a pragmatic trial in primary care, so results may vary by setting. The AI tools may not outperform usual care, and the study is not designed to prove long-term benefits.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. 35 ≤ Age \< 80 years. 2. Regularly attend the clinic for hypertension treatment during the study period, without plans of traveling during the study period. 3. Diagnosed with hypertension, with SBP ≥140mmHg at screening. 4. Currently taking 0 or 2 classes of antihypertensive medications (A/C/D), with or without concurrent use of class B. 5. Willing to participate in the trial and capable of providing written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Physician-diagnosed or suspected secondary hypertension (e.g., hypertension caused by renal disease, renal artery stenosis, aortic stenosis, primary aldosteronism, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, Cushing's syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, intracranial disease, drug-induced, or rare monogenic genetic disease). 2. SBP ≥180mmHg and/or DBP ≥110mmHg at the screening visit. 3. Suspected or diagnosed white coat hypertension. 4. History of coronary heart disease. 5. History of heart failure. 6. Intolerance to 2 or more classes of A, C,D antihypertensive medications. 7. Currently taking antihypertensive medications other than class A,B,C and D. 8. Diagnosed chronic kidney disease, estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)\< 60 ml/min·1.73m2, or receiving dialysis. 9. Serious medical conditions (e.g., malignant cancer and hepatic dysfunction) 10. Currently in an acute episode of disease (e.g, new-onset cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease occurred within 3 months). 11. Cognitive or communicative disorders. 12. Currently pregnant or breastfeeding or planning a pregnant or breastfeeding during the study. 13. Reluctant to take antihypertensive medications or have poor compliance with previous treatment. 14.
