Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years * Ability to speak English * Seen at UAB's or TGH's Emergency Department-Transitional Care Clinic * Blood pressure at Emergency Department-Transitional Care Clinic: Systolic BP ≥ 130 mmHg or Diastolic BP ≥ 80 mmHg * Have a cellphone with video capability Exclusion Criteria: * Systolic BP ≥ 160 mmHg or Diastolic BP ≥ 100 mmHg (i.e. severe range hypertension (HTN) by the 2025 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association BP guidelines) as they typically are referred to immediate treatment intensification. Since the prevalence of severe HTN is low (i.e.\<5%) in the US population, exclusion of these individuals will have only a small effect on the study.) * Lack of willingness or inability to provide written informed consent * Individuals who work overnight or second shift * History of known major arrhythmias * Currently pregnant or breastfeeding * Arm circumference \>50 cm. \*The upper limit for the largest BP cuff for oscillometric BP devices is typically 50-52 cm; data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011-2016 indicated that \<1% of US adults have an arm circumference \>50 cm, so this will have minimal effect on our study.
