Effectiveness of BP Remote Monitoring With Virtual Physician Management in Hypertensive Patients.

Not Applicable
Conditions
Hypertension
Stroke (CVA) or TIA
Interventions
Behavioral: Daily Blood Pressure Monitoring
Registration Number
NCT05319418
Lead Sponsor
AIRx Health, Inc.
Brief Summary

To assess the feasibility and adoptability of DailyDoctor's remote monitoring clinical decision support software tool in helping physicians virtually manage systolic blood pressures among patients with history of stroke or TIA to a target systolic blood pressure (\<140 mmHg or a lower target range specified by referring physicians) using remote monitoring and independent clinical judgement.

Detailed Description

To assess the feasibility and adoptability of DailyDoctor's remote monitoring clinical decision support software tool in helping physicians virtually manage systolic blood pressures among patients with history of stroke or TIA to a target systolic blood pressure (\<140 mmHg or a lower target range specified by referring physicians) using remote monitoring and independent clinical judgement.

To assess the feasibility and adoptability of DailyDoctor's digital platform in helping Stanford Stroke Center lower and maintain systolic blood pressures among patients with history of stroke or TIA to a target systolic blood pressure (\<140 mmHg or a lower target range specified by referring physicians) using remote monitoring and a virtual medical team focused on BP management.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
UNKNOWN
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
50
Inclusion Criteria

Age 18 years or older. A history of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, or transient ischemic attack. The ability to report blood pressure values by phone (either a patient or designated caregiver may call to report values).

At least 2 BP measurements that are ≥140 mmHg systolic or ≥90 mmHg diastolic obtained on different days in the last 6 months in any setting (including at home, in clinic, or in the hospital setting).

The referring physician feels the patient would benefit from BP optimization. Consent to receive care from telehealth physicians available through the DailyDoctor monitoring platform.

English or Spanish speaking.

Exclusion Criteria

Currently enrolled in another interventional research study Inability to comply with study protocol Have a planned surgical procedure during the study period Upper arm circumference > 20 inches Has diagnosis of end-stage renal disease (GFR < 15 mL/min), Serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL (176.8 μmol/L), or currently undergoing dialysis treatment (10) Women who are pregnant or who are planning to become pregnant during the study period.

Blood pressure reduction is not indicated (e.g. patients who have a high blood pressure target to augment cerebral perfusion).

Any other reason that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the person a poor candidate for participation in this study

Study & Design

INTERVENTIONAL
Study Design
SINGLE_GROUP
Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Hypertensive Patients Monitored DailyDaily Blood Pressure MonitoringPhysicians utilize DailyDoctor remote monitoring platform to virtually monitor daily BP of patients. Physicians use their independent medical judgement to recommend any clinical follow up or adjustment in medications/prescriptions for any patients whose daily reporting of BP triggers an alert based on physician-driven alert thresholds.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent patients within target BP24 Weeks

The change in the percentage of patients who are within their target blood pressure range between baseline (based on the average of the first 5 BP readings recorded by the patient using the DailyDoctor platform) and at the completion of the 24 week interv

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time taken to achieve a clinically significant reduction in blood pressureVaries, recorded over 24 weeks

Time taken to achieve a clinically significant reduction in blood pressure (5mmHg for systolic blood pressure or 2.5 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure)

Participant complianceRecorded over 24 weeks

Participant compliance, defined as the percentage of days that a patient transmits a vital sign reading on a monthly or weekly basis.

Change in number of classes of antihypertensive drugs24 Weeks

Change in number of classes of antihypertensive drugs prescribed between baseline and the final assessment with 5 predefined classes: diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers, β-blockers, and others (α-blockers, hydralazine, minoxidil, clonidine, reserpine, guanethidine, and methyldopa).

Number and types of AEs & SAEsRecorded over 24 weeks

Number and types of AEs \& SAEs

Proportion of patients within target BP rangeEvery 4-week period over 24 weeks.

Proportions of patients who are within their target blood pressure range during every 4-week period over 24 weeks.

Rate of blood pressure declineRecorded over 24 weeks

Rate of blood pressure decline

Change in number of antihypertensive drugs24 Weeks

Change in number of antihypertensive drugs prescribed between baseline and the final assessment

Proportions of patients of various BP categoriesRecorded over 24 weeks

Based on weekly and 4-weekly blood pressure averages, the proportions of patients who are classified as:

Normal (\<120 mmHg systolic/ \<80 mmHg diastolic) Elevated (120-129 mmHg systolic/ \<80 mmHg diastolic). Stage 1 hypertensive: systolic pressure ranging from 130 to 139 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure ranging from 80 to 89 mm Hg.

Stage 2 hypertensive: systolic pressure ≥140 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure ≥90 mm Hg.

Change in average systolic blood pressure24 Weeks

The average systolic blood pressure of the first 5 BP readings recorded by a patient using the DailyDoctor platform will be compared to the average of the last 5 readings of systolic blood pressure reported by the patient using the DailyDoctor platform.
