Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring LINKED With Community Health Workers to Improve Blood Pressure
NCT05180045 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The LINKED-BP Program is a patient-centered, multi-level intervention linking home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) with a telemonitoring platform (Sphygmo) that links with all Bluetooth-enabled validated blood pressure (BP) devices, support from community health workers (CHWs), and BP measurement training at community health centers serving high-risk adults to prevent stage 2 hypertension (BP ≥ 140/90 mm Hg). The LINKED-BP Program study will recruit a total of 600 adults (30 from each practice) with elevated BP (120-129/\<80 mm Hg) or untreated stage 1 hypertension (130-139/80-89 mm Hg) across 20 community health centers or primary care practices serving high-risk adults. This cluster-randomized trial consists of two arms: (1) enhanced "usual care arm," wherein patients will be provided with Omron 10 series home BP monitors (HBPM) and will be managed by the patients' primary care clinicians as usual; and (2) the LINKED-BP Program or "intervention arm," which will include training of patients on HBPM, Sphygmo BP telemonitoring app, and CHW visits for education and counseling on lifestyle modification. The intervention period for each study participant is 12 months.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05180045
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05180045 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 472 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Johns Hopkins University, which has 1,517 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Hypertension appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which LINKED-BP Program is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05180045 reports 20 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Maryland, District of Columbia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
