Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Device Under Test (DUT): Aktiia device Reference: HBPM (Aktiia cuff) Periods of treatment: For GROUPS 1 and 2, 2 weeks of treatment for each antihypertensive medication followed by a washout period of 2 weeks (3 antihypertensive medications in total with a fixed dose; medication intake order is randomly assigned). For GROUP 3, an individualized new antihypertensive medication will be prescribed during the consultation with the investigator that will be administered for 3 weeks.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Study participants are: For GROUP 1, hypertensive Stage 1 (SBP 140-159 mmHg or DBP 90-99 mmHg) or hypertensive Stage 2 (SBP 160-179 mmHg or DBP 100-109 mmHg) that are naive of antihypertensive treatments at the inclusion in the study. For GROUP 2, hypertensives Stage 1 (SBP 140-159 mmHg or DBP 90-99 mmHg) with no other cardiovascular risk factors who are taking an antihypertensive monotherapy, for whom previous treatment will be stopped at the study inclusion and will be resumed for the last 4 weeks of the study participation. For GROUP 3, uncontrolled hypertensive Stage 1 (SBP 140-159 mmHg or DBP 90-99 mmHg) or hypertensive Stage 2 (SBP 160-179 mmHg or DBP 100-109 mmHg) who are taking antihypertensive treatment that doesn't allow them to have controlled blood pressure.
Study participants are asked to:
Wear the Aktiia bracelet continuously every day for 4 to 19 weeks in total, depending on the study group, Initialize their bracelet with the Aktiia cuff at different time points, Measure their blood pressure with an HBPM (Aktiia cuff) twice per day, Take their BP-lowering medications during the treatment periods, Complete 2 to 3 different surveys, depending on the study group, to give their feedback on Aktiia product use compared to HBPM.

NON_RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
In parallel, GROUP 1 and 2 participants are asked to take 3 successive Blood Pressure lowering medications during 2 weeks per treatment. Treatment periods are followed by 2 weeks of washout. The order of drug intake is randomly assigned for every participant. GROUP 3 participants will receive and individualized antihypertensive medication assigned by the investigator.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Meds2023 GROUP 1
GROUP 1 participants are asked to wear the Aktiia bracelet continuously every day for 13 weeks in total and initialize their Aktiia bracelet with the Aktiia cuff at different timepoints.
In parallel, GROUP 1 participants are asked to take 3 successive Blood Pressure lowering drugs during 2 weeks per treatment. Treatment periods are followed by 2 weeks of washout (no treatment).
Aktiia Optical Blood Pressure Monitoring (OBPM) device and antihypertensive drugs (monotherapy and bitherapy)
The device under test is Aktiia Optical Blood Pressure Monitoring (OBPM) device and the comparator is the Aktiia cuff.
For study GROUP 1:
Study drugs are:
* Perindopril MEPHA (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors).
* Indapamide MEPHA (Diuretics).
* Amlodipine MEPHA (Calcium channel blockers). In each study treatment period, subjects in GROUP 1 will receive one of the following for each treatment period: monotherapy with Indapamide, bitherapy with Indapamide plus Perindopril, or bitherapy with Perindopril plus Amlodipine.
Meds2023 GROUP 2
GROUP 2 participants are asked to wear the Aktiia bracelet continuously every day for 19 weeks in total and initialize their Aktiia bracelet with the Aktiia cuff at different timepoints.
In parallel, GROUP 2 participants are asked to stop their previous antihypertensive monotherapy for the first 2 weeks of the study participation and then take 3 successive blood pressure-lowering medications during 2 weeks per treatment. Treatment periods are followed by 2 weeks of washout (no treatment). Finally, they resume their initial monotherapy intake for a period of 4 weeks.

Study drugs:
* Perindopril MEPHA (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors).
* Indapamide MEPHA (Diuretics).
* Amlodipine MEPHA (Calcium channel blockers). In each study treatment period, subjects in GROUP 2 will receive one of the following monotherapies: Perindopril , Indapamide, or Amlodipine.
Meds2023 GROUP 3
GROUP 3 participants are asked to wear the Aktiia bracelet continuously every day for 4 weeks in total and initialize their Aktiia bracelet with the Aktiia cuff at different timepoints.
In parallel, GROUP 3 participants are asked to take their initial antihypertensive medication that doesn't allow them to have controlled blood pressure for 1 week. For the following 3 weeks of the study participation, GROUP 3 participants are asked to take an individualized antihypertensive therapy assigned by the investigator.
