Open source

Quick takeaway

This randomized trial tested a home-based, mobile-guided breathing and meditation package for older hypertensive adults and reported larger improvements in blood pressure and sleep quality than standard care.

Why this matters

Strongly actionable because it uses low-equipment, home-based delivery for common later-life prevention needs.

Key caution

Single-center implementation may limit generalizability across PHC and community settings in India.
