Timeline
Population
We invited eligible and consenting FHS Generation 3 and Omni participants to download the electronic Framingham Heart Study (eFHS) app onto their mobile phones and co-deployed a digital blood pressure (BP) cuff. Thereafter, participants were also offered a smartwatch (Apple Watch). Participants were invited to complete surveys through the eFHS app, to perform weekly BP measurements, and to wear the smartwatch daily.
