Abstract Background Remote hypertension management programs have emerged as potential solutions to improve poor rates of blood pressure (BP) control. The Continual Versus Occasional Blood Pressure (COOL-BP) Study investigated the feasibility and efficacy using a cuffless wrist BP monitor in remote (HTN) program. Methods COOL-BP was prospective single-arm study within larger HTN program at Mass General Brigham (MGB). Participants had uncontrolled HTN, were already engaged MGB Hypertension...

Background/Objectives: Remote clinical studies offer new outreach opportunities, but recruitment remains challenging. We report our experience in identifying potential participants from diverse sources and adopting various methods. Methods: utilized multiple screening methods to identify enroll patients into an implementation study for guideline-directed care with T2D at high risk of cardio-renal complications within the Mass General Brigham health network. Patients were identified by...

Introduction: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) offer cardiovascular (CV) kidney protective effects in patients with Type 2 DM (T2DM). Despite the benefits, these medications are underutilized due to various barriers. Remote management programs present a scalable solution improve uptake of accordance guidelines. However, safety concerns may limit adoption such programs. We report adverse (AEs) outcomes participants who...

Background: Despite well-established benefits on morbidity and mortality, implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in heart failure (HF) population remains suboptimal. Quality improvement interventions to improve GDMT uptake often necessitate labor-intensive manual chart reviews identify eligible patients. To automate this process, we implemented evaluated a Rule-Based System (RBS) designed HF patients for remote medication optimization program. Methods: symptomatic...

A majority of patients with heart failure (HF) do not receive adequate medical therapy as recommended by clinical guidelines. One major obstacle encountered population health management (PHM) programs to improve medication usage is the substantial burden placed on staff who must manually sift through electronic records (EHRs) ascertain patients' eligibility for As a potential solution, study team developed rule-based system (RBS) that automatically parses EHR identifying HF may be eligible...

Background: Innovative BP measurement technology with cuffless devices has the potential to enhance HTN control, especially remote management. Methods: Patients uncontrolled at Mass General Brigham were managed by navigators and pharmacists in a digital management program, based on home monitoring (HBPM) digitally-connected arm cuffs. A subset was enrolled into 6-month COntinual vs OccasionaL (COOL-BP) study, testing wrist device (Aktiia SA, Switzerland). Asynchronous daytime weekly averages...

Background: Cuffless BP devices can potentially enhance hypertension management and remote monitoring. Patient experience with these is a key driver of their acceptability uptake. Methods: We implemented program within the Mass General Brigham health system using traditional home monitoring to adjust medications. Selected patients in this were enrolled an ancillary study where was also measured via cuffless wrist monitor (Aktiia SA, Switzerland). analyzed patient surveys all who successfully...
