Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Logistical feasibility of a protocol using telemonitoring and CURATE.AI-assisted dose titration.
A composite of the percentages will be use to obtain overall logistical feasibility of the protocol BP monitoring adherence: Percentage of BP entries by participants into telehealth platform Drug dose adherence percentage Physician acceptability of CURATE.AI dose recommendations: the percentage of CURATE.AI recommended doses that were prescribed by the treating physician(s)
Scientific Feasibility
A composite of the percentages will be use to obtain overall scientificl feasibility of the protocol CURATE.AI applicability: percentage of participants in whom CURATE.AI profiles can be generated and applied Percentage of dosing cycles, out of 10 dosing cycles, that CURATE.AI recommends dose with calibration and efficacy intent to physicians Percentage of participants with clinically significant dose changes: the cumulative dose is substantially (≥10%) different from the projected standard of care cumulative dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Hypertension - a chronic condition of elevated blood pressure (BP) - is a highly prevalent condition. However, effective prevention and management of hypertension remain challenging under the current standard of care (SOC). There has been a growing recognition that one-off, irregular office BP measurements are not sufficient and that regular home BP monitoring will likely be an adjunct to conventional office BP measurements. By using artificial intelligence (AI), via the CURATE.AI platform, the goal is to use patients' BP data to rapidly generate personalized anti-hypertensive dose titrations. The main aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of CURATE.AI-assisted dose titration.
Detailed Description
The primary aim is to assess the feasibility of CURATE.AI-assisted dose titration intervention (daily home BP monitoring via telemonitoring BotMD Care platform combined with personalized continuous dose titration based on CURATE.AI recommendations to treating physicians). The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and generate estimates of effect size using a small three-arm study design (N=45; 1:1:1 randomization), to inform the power analysis and sample size calculation for a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the efficacy and safety of the CURATE.AI-assisted dose titration intervention. The other aim is to also understand the potential efficacy of the CURATE.AI-assisted dose titration intervention to improve treatment efficacy outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that it will be logistically and scientifically feasible to use CURATE.AI-assisted dose titration for the management of hypertension,

Model Description
This is a 3 armed study. Control = SOC, 15 participants CURATE.AI (device)+telemonitoring= 15 participants. Telemonitoring without CURATE.AI= 15 participants. The rationale for the 3rd arm is that the process of telemonitoring itself can result in behavior change and affect blood pressure.
