App aims to take the guesswork out of blood pressure treatment
NCT ID NCT06745726
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a smartphone app called OptiZ can help people with high blood pressure get better control of their condition. Participants use the app to track their blood pressure, medication, and side effects, and share reports with their doctor for personalized dose adjustments. The study involves adults in England who are eligible for the blood pressure drug Zestril (lisinopril). The goal is to see if the app helps lower blood pressure more effectively than standard care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants must be 18 years or older. 2. Participants must have a diagnosis of essential hypertension. 3. Participants must be eligible for Zestril prescription as part of their hypertension treatment plan, in line with the NICE stepwise approach, based on the clinical judgment of the responsible healthcare professional 4. Participants need to be willing to self-monitor, must be able to use a smartphone (iOS 16+ or Android 11+). A carer aged 18+ can use the app on their behalf if needed. 5. Participants must provide written informed consent to participate in the study, including agreeing to adhere to the study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants with the following comorbidities: heart failure, a history of acute myocardial infarction, renal complications associated with diabetes mellitus, known clinically significant renal impairment (eGFR \< 60 ml/min/1.73 m2). Participants with a strongly activated renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system (such as those with renovascular hypertension, salt and/or volume depletion, cardiac decompensation, or severe hypertension). 2. Participants with severe cognitive impairment or severe visual impairment/blindness that would prevent effective use of the smartphone app or self-monitoring using a blood pressure monitor (applies only if no carer is available). 3. Clinically significant abnormal blood results as judged by the responsible healthcare professional (including but not limited to, known abnormal serum potassium and/or blood urea nitrogen/serum creatinine renal). 4.
