Digital health study aims to boost heart care in underserved communities
NCT ID NCT06587204
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app and digital training can help Black and Hispanic adults with heart conditions stay engaged in their health programs. Researchers will compare a digital lifestyle app, digital literacy training, and standard care in 125 participants. The goal is to see if these tools improve adherence and retention in clinical trials for underrepresented groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that digital tools and training help more people from underrepresented groups stay engaged in heart-health programs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on adherence, not on treating heart disease directly. Results may not apply to everyone.
