Digital Twin in Managing Hypertension Among People With Type 2 Diabetes: 1-Year Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital twin (DT)-guided lifestyle changes induce type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission but effects on hypertension (HTN) in this population are unknown.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to assess effects of DT vs standard of care (SC) on blood pressure (BP), anti-HTN medication, HTN remission, and microalbuminuria in participants with T2D.

Methods

This is a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial in India of 319 participants with T2D. Participants were randomized to DT group (N = 233), which used artificial intelligence-enabled DT technology, or SC group (N = 86). A Home Blood Pressure Monitoring system guided anti-HTN medication adjustments. BP, anti-HTN medications, HTN remission rates, and microalbuminuria were compared between groups.
