Digital Assessment of Real-World Walking Activity in Pulmonary Hypertension: A Prospective Multicenter Trial

The goal of this observational study is to validate digital mobility outcomes for monitoring the treatment and disease progression in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension. The main question it aims to answer is: -Do digital mobility outcomes (measured digital endpoints characterizing walking behavior) correlate with measures of precapillary pulmonary pressure as assessed by right heart catheterization? Participants will be asked to wear a small sensor on the lower back for one week at a time for a total of 3 times: at diagnosis and follow-up visits at 3-6 months and again at 6-12 months. Follow-up visits are scheduled by the treating clinician. At the end of the study participants can choose to receive feedback on the sensor measurements.
