Continual vs. Routine Home Blood Pressure Monitoring and Management in Diverse Community Practice: CHANGE-BP

This is a prospective, unblinded, open-label, randomized clinical trial that will study the use of the investigational Aktiia Bracelet and an accompanying Provider Interface in hypertension management. The Aktiia Bracelet is a non-invasive blood pressure monitor intended to track systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. Participants will attend a baseline visit, which will include a survey and blood pressure and anthropometric measurements. Participants will then be randomized to either the CBPM group, which includes the Aktiia Bracelet and care through a centralized Aktiia Provider Interface, or the HBPM group, which includes a standard blood pressure cuff and standard hypertension care. Individuals in the CBPM group will wear the Aktiia Bracelet for 6 months. During this time, a study-affiliated clinical pharmacist will monitor the individual's blood pressure through the Provider Interface and will potentially titrate the participant's blood pressure medications accordingly. After 6-months, all participants will return for an end of study visit that will include a survey and blood pressure and anthropometric measurements. Participants in the CBPM group will complete an additional survey to give their opinion on the Aktiia product.
