Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether patients assigned to the telemedicine (HealthCap) group demonstrate non-inferior blood pressure (BP) control compared to patients in the usual care group at 12 months. The main question it aims to answer is:

* Do participants in telemedicine group have non-inferior daytime ambulatory blood pressure readings at 12-month, compared to usual care group?
* Do participants in telemedicine group have better HT treatment, higher self-efficacy, reduced number of visits to primary care clinics and similar health care utilisation other than GOPCs, compared to usual care group?

Participant in telemedicine group will:

* Receive reminders to measure 7-day home blood pressure before their index consultation.
* Get their drug refilled automatically as well as have consultations deferred 16-18 weeks later, if their blood pressure is under optimal control.
* Have consultations as scheduled, if their BP is suboptimal or any of the safety questions screen positive.

Participants in control group will:

* Have consultation with physicians every 16-18 weeks.
