Can a tablet and home monitors help you manage diabetes and high blood pressure?
NCT ID NCT07075978
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways of delivering a health and wellness program to people with chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. One group gets a kit with a tablet and home monitors for blood pressure and blood sugar; the other gets standard phone calls. The goal is to see if the remote monitoring approach improves patients' confidence, health literacy, and ability to follow medical advice over 16 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Remote patient monitoring kit (tablet, blood pressure monitor, blood sugar monitor, pulse oximeter, weight scale) and telephone visits
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote monitoring helps people better manage chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures changes in confidence and adherence, not direct health outcomes.
