Guided Physical Activity Counseling for Hypertension in Primary Care
330 participantsStarted 2026-10-01
Plain-language summary
The goal of this study is to create easy-to-read physical activity reports and counseling guides for primary care doctors. These tools will use activity data collected over time from wearable fitness trackers. The study will also test how helpful and easy the system is for doctors when talking with patients who have high blood pressure. This approach uses technology that already exists and helps solve problems that make it hard to use in medical care. It also has the potential to reach many people and be low-cost for clinics to use.
