Revolutionizing Blood Pressure Management: Smart Meter and Kura Care Join Forces to Empower Over 119 Million Americans

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Managing high blood pressure just got easier for the millions of Americans struggling to stay on track. Smart Meter, a leader in remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions, has partnered with Kura Care, a pioneer in AI-driven patient engagement, to launch an integrated, personalized blood pressure program designed to empower patients and enhance care team support.

This powerful new collaboration combines Smart Meter’s innovative, cellular-connected iBloodPressure solution with Kura Care’s intelligent reminder and lifestyle tracking platform, providing patients with real-time, personalized insights, and actionable feedback—all delivered automatically. The result? A seamless, data-driven approach to managing hypertension more effectively.

Transforming Hypertension Care with Kura Care’s Blood Pressure Program

The Kura Care program is built to support patients, providers, RPM companies, and chronic care management (CCM) platforms with:

• Personalized Reminders & Lifestyle Tracking: Real-time prompts and tailored guidance to help patients make meaningful changes.
• Comprehensive Care Team Insights: Actionable data and trend analysis to optimize treatment plans and improve outcomes.
• Effortless Integration: A streamlined solution for seamless adoption by healthcare providers, RPM vendors, and CCM platforms.

The Silent Killer: Why Blood Pressure Management Matters

High blood pressure is known as the silent killer because it is estimated that almost 60 percent of Americans with high blood pressure don’t know it. Shockingly, only 20.7% of adults with high blood pressure have it controlled to below 130/80 mm Hg. Uncontrolled hypertension dramatically increases the risk of heart disease and stroke—two of the leading causes of death in the United States.

How the Program Works

This groundbreaking 12-week program leverages Smart Meter’s cellular iBloodPressure monitors. When patients take a reading, results are securely sent to their provider, RPM vendor, or CCM platform via Smart Meter’s private data network. Simultaneously, Kura Care’s AI system analyzes the data and delivers personalized coaching and reminders through texts, emails, and reports.

Driving Better Health Outcomes Together

"By combining Kura Care’s AI-driven patient engagement with Smart Meter’s iBloodPressure device, we are redefining blood pressure management, making it more personalized, proactive, and impactful for both patients and healthcare providers," said Shawn Hsu, Chief Technology Officer at Kura Care.

"This collaboration is a game-changer for hypertension management," added Casey Pittock, CEO of Smart Meter. "With Kura Care now available through our SmartHealth Solutions suite of innovative monitoring tools, we’re introducing a powerful application for our broad commercial healthcare customer base to drive meaningful patient engagement, increase reimbursement opportunities and deliver better outcomes."
