Measure
Control
Following the educational session, the control group participants' BP, ASA24® Dietary Assessment Tool (ASA24; sodium intake), and pre-test knowledge on HTN will be obtained (using Qualitrics). Four weeks later, the participants were scheduled for a follow-up meeting to collect each participant's BP, ASA24, and post-test knowledge on HTN (using Qualitrics).
MOBILE Intervention Group
Intervention participants were required to take daily BP, provide their motivation level, and send them to the research assistant to receive the appropriate text messages. Intervention group was asked to take their BP daily and rate their motivation level and communicate with the research assistant. Their level will trigger the appropriate behavioral change SMS prompt.: The investigators showed participants how to use the Health Mate app, upload Withings BP cuff readings, upload historical data to the cloud, read trend lines in their record, rank their daily motivational level, and answer a brief short message service (SMS) question about whether the participants completed the behavioral change task encouraged by the daily message. A one-page instruction sheet with the research team's contact information was provided. Participants were instructed to take their BP daily, before their first meal and encouraged to avoid prior alcohol and caffeine intake as well as physical activity. The participants were instructed to rate their motivational level as low, moderate, or high via SMS when transmitting their BP value. Their level will trigger the appropriate behavioral change SMS prompt.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Average of Day 1 and Day 28

Assess all participants' knowledge on HTN using the Hypertension Knowledge-Level Scale (HK-LS). 6 sub-dimensions: definition, medical treatment, drug compliance, lifestyle, diet, and complications 22-item; Responses; Score ranges from 0-22; Higher scores reflect greater knowledge of HTN. Reliability: Cronbach's alpha 0.82 \& Validity: good content, face, and construct validity, test re-test reliability (0.79), and discriminative validity (0.27-\>0.40).
