Wearable Evaluation of Ambulatory Readings for Blood Pressure

Sponsor

Stephen Juraschek

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Jun 6, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Normal Blood Pressure Controlled Hypertension Uncontrolled Hypertension

Summary

The purpose of this project is to compare the performance and validity of novel wearable technologies that measure blood pressure (BP) and physical activity with a Spacelabs Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) device.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 100 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is evaluating how accurately wearable blood pressure devices (like smartwatches or wristbands) measure blood pressure compared to standard arm-cuff methods. Researchers want to determine whether wearable devices can be trusted for monitoring blood pressure in everyday life across diverse neighborhoods in the Boston area. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 100 years old - You live in the Boston area - You can walk on two legs and have two functional arms - You are willing and able to undergo the measurement procedures - You can provide informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are unable to provide informed consent - Your arm circumference is more than 50 cm (which prevents proper device fit) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

DEVICEABPMPro

This is an upper arm, cuff-based intermittent ambulatory BP device. This device has an internal activity and body position sensor which gathers information about sleep-wake estimation.

DEVICESpacelabs Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

This is an upper arm cuff-based device with tubing for continuous ambulatory BP monitoring with a unique activity sensor that correlate with patient movement activity with blood pressure changes.

DEVICEAktiia Blood Pressure

This is a wrist cuff-based device which uses an optical sensor (photoplethysmography sensor) to gather data from the arteries under the skin surface. Aktiia has an upper arm cuff device which is used for calibration once every month to provide a baseline blood pressure reading.

DEVICELiveMetric

This is a wrist cuff-based applanation tonometry continuous ambulatory BP device. This device has automatic self-calibration and comes in various sizes.

DEVICEBpro

This is a wrist cuff-based wireless oscillometric, continuous ambulatory BP device. It has applanation tonometry at the wrist with Pulse wave analysis. This device needs calibration with a brachial cuff BP measurement.
