Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adults (18 to 75 years old) who are diagnosed with essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without hypercholesterolemia (defined as taking statin therapy).
  • Both hypertension and diabetes are suboptimally controlled at Screening:
  • SBP is ≥ 140 mm Hg (and his/her BP goal is \< 140/90 mm Hg).
  • A1C is ≥ 7% and ≤ 11% at Screening (A1C is above goal by ≥ 0.5%).
  • On a stable anti-hypertensive regimen (on current regimen for at least 30 days) with at least 2 anti-hypertensive medications
  • Ability to manage the subject during the 12-week study with anti-hypertensive medication(s) and dose forms (or same drug classes and comparable doses for Usual Care subjects) used within the study.
  • Currently on metformin and/or glipizide for diabetes for at least the past 60 days prior to Screening. Subjects can be managed on other noninsulin diabetes medicines (including sulfonylureas other than glipizide) during the study.
  • Subjects must have a Proteus test pill (IS used to test that the Proteus Patch is correctly placed on the body and paired with the mobile device) detected as part of onboarding on the Proteus device (during the Proteus Onboarding Visit).
  • In the Investigator's opinion inadequate medication adherence is a potential factor in the subject's uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes.

You may not qualify if:

  • BMI \> 40 kg/m2 as subjects may be more likely to have secondary reasons for out of control blood pressure (BP) and/or diabetes.
  • History of skin sensitivity to adhesive medical tape or metals for subjects in the Intervention Arms.
  • History of acute or chronic dermatitis for subjects in the Intervention Arms.
  • Any condition that in the investigator's opinion could preclude safe participation in the study.
  • Secondary cause for hypertension (eg, renal impairment or renal artery stenosis) or uncontrolled diabetes (eg, corticosteroid use).
  • Mean SBP ≥ 180 mm Hg and/or DBP ≥ 110 mm Hg, if associated with evidence of hypertensive emergency..
  • Current or recent (within past year) treatment with insulin or other injectables for diabetes.
