Continual Versus Occasional Blood Pressure (COOL-BP) in Remote Hypertension Management.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Remote hypertension management programs have emerged as potential solutions to improve poor rates of blood pressure (BP) control. The Continual Versus Occasional Blood Pressure (COOL-BP) Study investigated the feasibility and efficacy of using a cuffless wrist BP monitor in a remote hypertension (HTN) program.

Methods

COOL-BP was a prospective single-arm study within a larger HTN management program at Mass General Brigham (MGB). Participants had uncontrolled HTN, were already engaged in the MGB Remote Hypertension Program, and used a smartphone. The study involved patients wearing the Aktiia cuffless wrist BP monitor and performing traditional home BP monitoring (HBPM). The primary endpoint was the correlation of BP measurements between devices. Secondary endpoint
