Using remote monitoring to manage high blood pressure and prevent cognitive decline in older adults
Remote Monitoring and Virtual Collaborative Care for Hypertension Control to Prevent Cognitive Decline
This study is looking at how using technology to monitor and manage high blood pressure from home can help older adults stay healthy and possibly prevent memory problems, and it’s designed for seniors who want to better control their blood pressure with support from their healthcare team.

What this research studies
This research investigates how remote monitoring and virtual collaborative care can improve the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) in older adults, which may help prevent cognitive decline and dementia. The study aims to address barriers that prevent effective blood pressure control by reorganizing hypertension management and utilizing new technologies. It will involve two phases, starting with assessing the feasibility and patient satisfaction of a virtual care clinic designed to support patients in managing their blood pressure from home. By engaging healthcare systems and patients, the research seeks to create a scalable model for hypertension management that could significantly impact cognitive health.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are older adults aged 65 and over who have hypertension.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have hypertension or are younger than 65 years old may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better blood pressure control in older adults, potentially reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown that similar approaches using technology for hypertension management can be effective, indicating potential for success in this study.
