Trial summary

In recent years, a large number of consumer-grade and Smart Wearable Devices (SWD) such as smart watches, with BP measurement property, have entered the market and have a high configuration and utilization among young and middle-aged populations, but most of them are uncalibrated and have poor accuracy.

About this study

Official title: Screening for Masked Hypertension in Young and Middle-aged Adults With Smart Wearable Devices (SMART)

In recent years, a large number of consumer-grade and Smart Wearable Devices (SWD) such as smart watches, with BP measurement property, have entered the market and have a high configuration and utilization among young and middle-aged populations, but most of them are uncalibrated and have poor accuracy. Recently, several medical-grade smart BP watches have passed the national medical device registration test, which will provide an important tool for accurate screening of hypertension, especially masked hypertension, in young and middle-aged people.

"Screening for masked hypertension in young and middle-aged adults with smart wearable devices" (SMART)aims to screen for masked hypertension using smart BP watches that have been tested for national medical device registration. It is planned to include 200 young and middle-aged subjects with normal blood pressure (BP) in the clinic, who will wear the smart BP watch for 7 consecutive days (BP will be measured at least once in the morning and once in the evening, 2-3 times each time), and if the mean BP is >= 135/85 mmHg, it will be determined to be MK and recommended for further consultation and treatment.

Read the detailed description

Masked hypertension (MH) is defined as elevated ambulatory or home blood pressure (BP), but normal office BP, often complicated with severe cardiovascular and renal damage. MH is easily missed and needs to be identified by "out-of-office" BP measurements such as ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) or home BP monitoring (HBPM). However, in clinical practice, ABPM has poor accessibility, high cost, and requires appointments, making it difficult to meet the demand; HBPM has better accessibility, but low utilization and irregular use are more prominent. In addition, these devices interfere with sleep and activity when measuring BP, so their clinical application is somewhat limited.

Smart wearable devices (SWD) can sense and record various physiological parameters of human body, and analyze the health status of individuals with the support of software algorithms. In recent years, a large number of consumer-grade and SWD such as smart watches, with BP measurement property, have entered the market and have a high configuration and utilization among young and middle-aged populations, but most of them are uncalibrated and have poor accuracy. Recently, several medical-grade smart BP watches have passed the national medical device registration test, which will provide an important tool for accurate screening of hypertension, especially MH, in young and middle-aged people.

"Screening for masked hypertension in young and middle-aged adults with smart wearable devices" (SMART) aims to screen for MH using smart BP watches that have been tested for national medical device registration. It is planned to include 200 young and middle-aged subjects with normal blood pressure in the clinic, who will wear the smart BP watch for 7 consecutive days (BP will be measured at least once in the morning and once in the evening, 2-3 times each time), and if the mean BP is >= 135/85 mmHg, it will be determined to be MK and recommended for further consultation and treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of masked hypertension

    Average systolic/diastolic BP during 7 days of the observation period will be calculated.

    Office BP should be measured when the average BP is ≥135/85 mmHg during 7 days of continuous self-monitoring. If the office BP is < 140/90 mmHg at visit, "Masked Hypertension" will be diagnosed.

    The prevalence of masked hypertension will be calculated as the following:

    number of masked hypertension/number of subjects included.

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Prevalence of hypertension

    Average systolic/diastolic BP during 7 days of the observation period will be calculated.

    Office BP should be measured when the average BP is ≥135/85 mmHg during 7 days of continuous self-monitoring. If the office BP is ≥140/90 mmHg at visit, the diagnosis will be "Hypertension".

    The prevalence of hypertension will be calculated as the following:

    number of hypertension/number of subjects included.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Masked Hypertension, run by Jing Liu at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jing Liu, MD (01088325457, heartcenter@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of masked hypertension (time frame: 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jun 2022.
