Assessment

Primary outcomes

Relationship between the home BP change and the changes of measurements by ICT devices (objective assessments of lifestyle behavioral modification) after the initiation of the digital therapeutics using the "CureApp HT" app.

2) Relationship between the objective assessments and subjective assessments of lifestyle behavioral modification
3) Effects of various indexes of lifestyle behavioral modification on BP reduction.
4) Effects of individual characteristics on BP reduction
5) Interaction between lifestyle behavioral modification indexes and individual characteristics on BP reduction
6) Persistence and acquirement of improved lifestyle
7) Persistence of BP-lowering effect
