Interventions

Enhanced Usual Care Groupbehavioral

Medtronic® Labs' Akoma pa app, a culturally-tested and locally attuned mobile health platform, will be used in the intervention arm of the study to improve communication between the Community Health Officer (CHO) and the participant. This platform will be used to enhance shared decision making, clinical decision support, participatory communication, knowledge, treatment adherence (medication and lifestyle modification), and self-monitoring of hypertension. We will test the feasibility of the Akoma pa app in addressing patient-level and provider-level barriers to hypertension control. The app will consist of the following components: 1. Reminders 2. Participant to CHO messaging 3. Home BP tracking 4. Educational materials on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and Stroke- Participants will have access to education modules on reducing the risk of CVD and stroke tailored to their knowledge level. 5. CHO provider portal- The provider portal will include decision support tools.
