Digital health coaching and remote monitoring tested for blood pressure control
NCT ID NCT05394766
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
High blood pressure affects nearly half of Americans, but only half have it under control. This study tested whether a digital program—including personalized health coaching and a connected blood pressure cuff used via smartphone or website—could improve blood pressure control compared to usual care. The trial enrolled 318 adults with hypertension from Stanford Primary Care.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a scalable, convenient way for people with high blood pressure to better manage their condition at home.
