NCT ID NCT06122246
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Yale study tests two ways to help people with high blood pressure: a remote monitoring program alone, or that program plus a community health worker who helps with home monitoring, appointments, and social needs like food or housing. 1,440 participants with elevated blood pressure will be followed for 18 months to see which approach works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Community Health Worker support and Remote Blood Pressure Management program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that adding community health worker support to remote blood pressure management helps more people get their blood pressure under control.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial. Results depend on participant engagement and may not apply to all populations. Blood pressure control can be challenging to maintain long-term.
