Sponsor's own description

To develop awareness, enhance knowledge, attitude and make behavioral changes by using health education and mHealth technology among hypertensive patients in a rural community of Bangladesh, A Randomized Controlled Trial will be conducted in a rural community around Kumudini Women's Medical College and Hospital, Mirzapur, Bangladesh, intervention period will be consecutive 5 months and 210 in each group (total 420). Face to face interviews will be conducted to develop awareness among hypertensive individuals as part of the provision of improved health care services. The face to face interview will take place at Kumudini Hospital or in the community. Face to face interviews will help to understand the individuals' perceptions, attitudes, and practices associated with compliance to treatment and behavior change. Additionally, the study will identify major barriers related to hypertension associated with healthcare-seeking behaviors. Subjects will be diagnosed cases of hypertension. The selection criteria would be: individuals aged 35 years and more, have at least 1-5 years of schooling, who are open and can exchange their views freely as well as who can be asked in-depth and probing questions. Moreover, specimens will be collected to examine for serum total cholesterol, random blood sugar, urinary salinity, and urinary protein. Physical measurements like height in meter, weight in kg, MUAC in millimeter, hip and waist ratio will be performed from the day of enrollment till the end of follow up. If the participant agrees to participate, they will be asked questions about their lifestyle, present health status, and socio-demographic characteristics. The interview will around 30 minutes of their time, measurement of nutritional status (height, weight, MUAC, hip circumference, and waist circumference), and specimen collection for laboratory tests (blood and urine) will take another 30 minutes. Initially, the follow-up visits will be twice a month then once a month up to 4 consecutive months. Interviews will be conducted in the Kumudini Women's Medical College and Hospital.

Statistical significance will be defined as p\<0.05.
