The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) has been awarded a K23 Project Grant for $191,777 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The purpose of this 5-year grant is to support Dr. Simon Ascher, a clinical investigator, in developing expertise in advanced statistical methods, patient preference surveys, digital health tools, and behavioral clinical trials. The goal is to create a personalized approach to blood pressure target decision-making that combines individualized risk prediction, patient preference calibration, and a digital decision aid. Key activities include refining predictive models, characterizing patient preferences, and developing and piloting a decision aid embedded in the electronic health record. This research aims to help clinicians and patients make more informed, individualized decisions about optimal blood pressure management.
