Wearable tech may transform blood pressure care for dialysis patients

First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This trial tests whether using a wearable cuffless blood pressure monitor to guide treatment can help more hemodialysis patients achieve target blood pressure than standard office-based measurements. Adults on maintenance hemodialysis with high blood pressure will be randomly assigned to either wearable-guided or office-guided management. The study will compare the proportion of patients reaching blood pressure goals and assess changes in blood pressure, medication use, and safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CART BP Pro cuffless wearable blood pressure monitoring device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could lead to better blood pressure control and potentially reduce heart risks in hemodialysis patients.
- What could go wrong
- The device is new and may not be accurate in all patients. The trial is relatively small and results may not apply to everyone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 19 years or older. * Patients receiving hemodialysis three times per week. * On maintenance hemodialysis for at least 3 months. * Patients with a predialysis blood pressure (BP) of ≥140/90 mmHg measured in the dialysis clinic before study enrollment, or those taking at least one antihypertensive medication. * Individuals who provided informed consent to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of an implanted cardiac pacemaker. * Patients in whom pulse wave measurement is not feasible due to uncontrolled arrhythmias (e.g., persistent atrial fibrillation). * Inability to wear the CART BP Pro device (e.g., due to finger deformity). * Life expectancy of less than 6 months.
