Hardware, plants, diastolic BP — Bunnings-based hypertension screening trial is just the beginning
'Bunnings is a place people do go a lot in Australia — especially men,' the lead researcher says.
A clinical trial is snagging Bunnings shoppers for a blood pressure check in a bid to reach patients who do not typically consider themselves at risk of stroke.
Called Shop-to-Stop Hypertension, it involves putting commercial blood pressure self-monitoring stations into 30 Bunnings stores, then following up if the patients who use them have raised blood pressure.
