• Conditions: Hypertension

• Registration Number: NCT06331754
• Lead Sponsor: Atman Health, Inc

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to reliably estimate the difference in blood pressure control of a technology-enabled solution for blood pressure (BP) management over usual care. The study will also assess patient and provider satisfaction with the solution. Finally, the investigators will estimate the economic impact of the intervention in terms of resource utilization.

Detailed Description

The study design is a non-blinded pragmatic cluster-randomized controlled trial with a single intervention. Participants with uncontrolled hypertension will be identified from a randomly selected group of primary care clinics. Participants from half of the clinics will be enrolled in the intervention arm while the others will receive usual care. Participants in the intervention arm will undergo a series of software-driven medication initiation and titration steps until they reach a blood pressure target of systolic blood pressure \< 130 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure \< 80 mmHg. Participants will be subsequently monitored for up to 12 more months.
