This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether home blood pressure telemonitoring—a wireless device that sends your blood pressure readings to your doctor automatically—helps people with chronic kidney disease control their blood pressure better. The study includes support from a case manager who will help you manage your condition. Researchers believe this approach could prevent kidney disease from getting worse, especially for people living in remote areas who have limited access to specialist care.
Many people with kidney disease have uncontrolled high blood pressure, which makes their kidney disease progress faster and increases the risk of heart and stroke problems. People living in remote areas face even bigger challenges because they have less access to doctors and specialized kidney care. This trial is testing whether home monitoring combined with extra support can help these patients control their blood pressure better and protect their kidneys.

You will receive a wireless blood pressure device that connects to your smartphone and automatically sends readings to your doctor's secure portal. In one group, a case manager will check in with you regularly to help support your blood pressure control; in the other group, you'll simply share your readings with your regular doctor. Either way, you'll measure your blood pressure at home in the morning and evening for the duration of the study, and the researchers will track how well your blood pressure and kidney function improve over time.
