An AI Coaching App Helped Hypertension Patients Take Control of Their Blood Pressure

In a Rush University Medical Center study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, 425 patients added the free Nuna app, with its AI health coach and gamified reminders, to their hypertension care. Systolic blood pressure fell 13.6 mm Hg among users with uncontrolled stage 2 hypertension versus 9.0 among controls, and one in five participants brought their high blood pressure under control early in the study.
