Trial summary

In this RCT, up to 100 adults classified as pre-hypertensive will be randomized to either an artificial intelligence (AI) based lifestyle intervention group or an active control group with a 1 to 1 ratio. Both groups will receive an identical activity tracker (Samsung Galaxy Watch) and BP monitor (Omron Evolv). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Personalized Blood Pressure Care for Prehypertensive Patients Using IoMTs and Artificial Intelligence

In this RCT, up to 100 adults classified as pre-hypertensive will be randomized to either an artificial intelligence (AI) based lifestyle intervention group or an active control group with a 1 to 1 ratio. Both groups will receive an identical activity tracker (Samsung Galaxy Watch) and BP monitor (Omron Evolv). The AI intervention group will receive automated and personalized lifestyle recommendations based on their lifestyle (e.g. sleep, exercise and diet) and blood pressure (BP) data, involving an automated analytics engine using statistics and machine learning. The active control group will not receive these lifestyle recommendations. The investigators aim to assess objectively the effectiveness of the AI-based personalized lifestyle recommendations on the patients BP.

Being tested
AI-Based Lifestyle Recommendations, No Lifestyle Recommendations

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AI-Based Lifestyle RecommendationsBehavioural

    The intervention provides participants with automated and personalized lifestyle recommendations involving a sophisticated analytics engine using advanced statistics and machine learning.

  • No Lifestyle RecommendationsOther

    The control group receives an identical activity tracker and BP monitor in order to objectively assess the effectiveness of the experimental group intervention.

Study groups in NCT04543656
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AI-Based Lifestyle Recommendations GroupExperimentalParticipants in this group receive AI-based, personalized lifestyle recommendations based on analysis of their activity tracker and blood pressure data.
Receives: Behavioral: AI-Based Lifestyle Recommendations
Control GroupActive comparatorParticipants in this group do not receive the lifestyle recommendations, but are provided with an identical activity tracker and blood pressure monitor.
Receives: Other: No Lifestyle Recommendations

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Average change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) in experimental vs. control group

    Average SBP during the first and last week of a patient's enrollment will be used to calculate SBP change for each patient.

    Measured: Initial 2 week data collection, weekly lifestyle recommendations, 6 months total

  2. Average change in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in experimental vs. control group

    Average DBP during the first and last week of a patient's enrollment will be used to calculate DBP change for each patient.

    Measured: Initial 2 week data collection, weekly lifestyle recommendations, 6 months total

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of patients in experimental group that followed lifestyle recommendations

    This secondary outcome measure is interested in assessing patient engagement within the experimental group. Data from the activity tracker (steps, sleep quality, active minutes, etc.) will be used to assess whether a patient followed the lifestyle recommendations.

    Measured: Initial 2 week data collection, weekly lifestyle recommendations, 6 months total

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AI-Based Lifestyle Recommendations and No Lifestyle Recommendations in people with Pre-hypertension, run by University of California, San Diego at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sujit Dey, PhD (8587617518, dey@eng.ucsd.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Average change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) in experimental vs. control group (time frame: Initial 2 week data collection, weekly lifestyle recommendations, 6 months total). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Sep 2021.
