About this trial
Because Aktiia S.A. has been the first-ever company to put in the market an Optical Blood Pressure Monitoring device, there is a need for Aktiia S.A. to correlate for the first time continual Blood Pressure monitoring and the evolution of environmental and health factors to improve hypertension management.

Treatments tested in this trial
Lifestyle survey completion
Other interventionFor the next 10 years, starting at their inclusion in the research project and every 6 months thereafter: fill in an online survey on their lifestyle- health- socioeconomic environment. The completion of a survey lasts 5min maximum.
Unlimited on-demand blood pressure measurements with G2C
Other interventionFor the next 10 years: take unlimited on-demand measurements with the Aktiia G2C feature (finger measurement) while seated
Continual blood pressure measurements with G1
Other interventionFor the next 10 years: wear their 24/7 Aktiia G1 device continuously as they would outside the context of the research project.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Multivariate models relating data from 24/7 Aktiia the G1 device continual BP monitoring with sociodemographic - lifestyle - and health factors
Strength and direction of the correlation coefficient between continuous blood pressure readings and various survey-derived factors such as sociodemographic variables, lifestyle habits, and health metrics.
Secondary outcomes
Global scale projections of the benefit of the early awareness of hypertension with the spot-check Aktiia G2C device at the fingertip
Proportion of subjects with early hypertension awareness enabled by the fingertip spot-check feature of the Aktiia G2C device.
