The investigators will utilize the Way to Health (WTH) platform to develop and evaluate a new remote monitoring enrollment model that is integrated with routine clinical care at Penn Family Care (PFC), an academic family medicine practice in West Philadelphia. Among patients with poorly controlled HTN the investigators will:
1. Compare the effect of sending eligible patients a blood pressure cuff with the mailed invitation letter and opt-out framing versus the more conventional method of phone calls following mailed letters.
2. Evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a remote monitoring program with individualized stepped escalation for hypertension management.
