WEARABLE-BP: Wearable Everyday Automated Readings to Enable Assessment of Blood Pressure Control

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Apr 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The WEARABLE-BP study will evaluate the clinical value of obtaining continual measurements using the Aktiia G1 Optical Blood Pressure Monitoring (OBPM) device in hypertensive patients, compared to using a traditional upper arm cuff for home BP monitoring. The WEARABLE-BP study aims to compare the change in unattended automated office blood pressure from baseline to 6 months between two study groups: those given an Aktiia G1 BP monitor and those given a traditional upper arm BP cuff.
