Testing a Blood Pressure Bracelet for Daily Monitoring
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing an Aktiia bracelet for 6 months can help doctors better understand and control your blood pressure. You'll wear the bracelet daily and visit the clinic twice to see if this wearable device helps manage high blood pressure that isn't controlled by current medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing whether a blood pressure monitoring system called Aktiia can help people become aware of high blood pressure early and predict heart risks. It involves using a smartphone and a wrist bracelet (or just the phone's camera) to take blood pressure readings.
This observational study tests how well a wearable device (the Aktiia bracelet) measures blood pressure by comparing it to standard listening checks. It may help people understand how accurate home-style blood pressure readings can be in different health situations.
This study tests a new wrist-worn device that measures blood pressure without a cuff. You'll wear the device and have your blood pressure taken with a standard cuff to see how well the new method works.
This trial tests a new wrist device that takes blood pressure readings regularly. The results are compared between when you first use it and a week later.
This study compares an optical blood pressure monitor (used like a home device with a smartphone) against standard home blood pressure readings. It’s meant to see if the new device gives accurate results for people with high blood pressure who are not currently on blood pressure medicines.
This study tests a new wearable device that measures blood pressure without a cuff. You might be able to join if you are generally healthy, not pregnant, and have no serious heart or kidney problems.
