Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–75 with hypertension who can use a smartphone and participate in home BP monitoring.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants who have low engagement with digital tools or whose hypertension is not responsive to behavioral interventions may see limited benefit.

What this trial studies
This two-arm randomized pilot trial tests whether an AI-driven health education assistant can help adults with hypertension lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure more than standard case-manager support over six months. Participants use a mobile platform with medication reminders, behavioral nudges, quizzes, and alerts for abnormal readings in the AI arm, while the control arm receives personalized lifestyle advice and regular follow-ups from case managers. Outcomes include changes in SBP and DBP, adherence to health behaviors, goal engagement, and TAM metrics such as perceived usefulness and ease of use. The study will help determine feasibility and potential benefits of AI-driven hypertension management tools.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the AI assistant could offer scalable, proactive support to reduce blood pressure and improve daily health behaviors.
How similar studies have gone: Previous pilot efforts suggest digital health and AI-driven support can improve engagement and some health metrics, but results vary by population and implementation.
