Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on adding a digital program to your usual care, so you might not need to stop your medications.

What data supports the effectiveness of the Omada Hypertension Program treatment for high blood pressure?

Research shows that digital therapeutics, like the Omada Hypertension Program, can significantly reduce blood pressure in patients by using home monitoring and personalized remote treatment. Studies have demonstrated that these digital tools help patients achieve better blood pressure control compared to traditional methods.12345

Is the Remote Patient Monitoring and Health Coaching for High Blood Pressure safe for humans?

The studies on digital therapeutics for hypertension, including apps and remote monitoring systems, have not reported any safety concerns, suggesting they are generally safe for human use.24567

How is the Omada Hypertension Program treatment different from other treatments for high blood pressure?

The Omada Hypertension Program is unique because it uses remote patient monitoring and digital health coaching to help manage high blood pressure. This approach leverages home blood pressure measurements and digital communication to provide personalized care, which can improve patient adherence and control rates compared to traditional in-office visits.158910

What is the purpose of this trial?

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, affects nearly half of all Americans and increases the risk for heart disease and stroke. Only about half of people with high blood pressure have it under control. New methods to control blood pressure are needed to reduce heart attack and stroke rates. The purpose of this study is to test whether a digital program that includes personalized health coaching and remote patient monitoring with a connected blood pressure cuff, all delivered on a smartphone or website, can improve blood pressure control compared with usual care among patients with high blood pressure.

  • Omada Hypertension Program
Trial Overview The study is testing the Omada Hypertension Program—a digital approach using a smartphone or website that includes health coaching and monitoring blood pressure remotely—against usual care methods for managing high blood pressure.
Participant Groups
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Receives access to Omada Health programExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In addition to usual care, participants will gain access to the Omada Program, an online program that offers lifestyle self-management support for hypertension. Participants will be assigned a health coach and a hypertension specialist via Omada's secure app. Participants will receive hypertension education and resources and communicate with their care team through asynchronous, in-app messaging features. Participants will receive digital tools that connect with the Omada app to help track their food intake, physical activity, and blood pressure (BP). Participants who also have diabetes will receive a digital blood glucose meter and/or a continuous glucose monitor as well. The care team will support patients with lifestyle self-management support, adherence to their current medication regimen, improved BP control, and use of monitors for self-management of their BP and/or blood glucose values.
Group II: Does not receive access to Omada Health programActive Control1 Intervention
Participants manage hypertension with usual care alone.

Findings from Research

A remote hypertension management program was developed that uses home blood pressure monitoring and algorithmic care pathways, showing promise in helping patients achieve better blood pressure control.
The program involves non-licensed patient navigators working under the supervision of healthcare professionals, allowing for personalized medication adjustments based on patient-specific characteristics, which could enhance scalability and effectiveness in managing hypertension.

The HERB-Digital Hypertension 1 trial demonstrated that a hypertension treatment app significantly reduced blood pressure in patients, showing better results than traditional physician management alone.
This app received global approval in Japan in 2022, paving the way for its widespread use in managing hypertension, although further research is needed to identify which patients will benefit most and to establish guidelines for its use.
The first software as medical device of evidence-based hypertension digital therapeutics for clinical practice.Kario, K., Harada, N., Okura, A.[2022]
A study involving 444 patients with uncontrolled hypertension will compare three approaches: traditional care, telemonitoring with office visits, and telemedicine using online communication, to see which method achieves better blood pressure control.
The primary goal is to determine which method leads to faster control of hypertension, with expectations that telemonitoring and telemedicine will be more effective and may improve patient adherence and satisfaction while potentially reducing cardiovascular risks.
