The Munich-based eXPLORE study aims to find out whether a digitally controlled health programme can help patients get their hypertension under control. The study is looking for participants from all over Germany. The study team at the LMU Hospital in Munich includes the two DZHK scientists Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Brunner and PD Dr. med. Christopher Stremmel.
Some of the study participants will receive a specially tailored and extended treatment plan via their smartphone in addition to the usual treatment provided by their general practitioner or cardiologist. In comparison, the other half of the patients will only receive standard therapy. The digital programme is designed to provide patients with personalised, in-depth support. They can also consult a doctor in a video consultation to discuss personal results and medical questions.
