About this trial
Study design: Prospective, multicentric, randomized, comparative study Study duration: between 4 and 19 weeks depending on the study group. Population: minimum 35 hypertensives (stage 1 or stage 2) participants divided into 3 groups depending on hypertension criteria. GROUP 1 = untreated hypertensives, stage 1 or stage 2; GROUP 2 = hypertensives, stage 1, who are taking antihypertensive monotherapy; GROUP 3 = hypertensives, stage 1 or stage 2, who are taking antihypertensive treatment that doesn't allow them to have controlled blood pressure.
Device Under Test (DUT): Aktiia device Reference: HBPM (Aktiia cuff) Periods of treatment: For GROUPS 1 and 2, 2 weeks of treatment for each antihypertensive medication followed by a washout period of 2 weeks (3 antihypertensive medications in total with a fixed dose; medication intake order is randomly assigned). For GROUP 3, an individualized new antihypertensive medication will be prescribed during the consultation with the investigator that will be administered for 3 weeks.

Treatments tested in this trial
Aktiia Optical Blood Pressure Monitoring (OBPM) device and antihypertensive drugs (monotherapy and bitherapy)
Other interventionThe device under test is Aktiia Optical Blood Pressure Monitoring (OBPM) device and the comparator is the Aktiia cuff. For study GROUP 1: Study drugs are: * Perindopril MEPHA (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors). * Indapamide MEPHA (Diuretics). * Amlodipine MEPHA (Calcium channel blockers). In each study treatment period, subjects in GROUP 1 will receive one of the following for each treatment period: monotherapy with Indapamide, bitherapy with Indapamide plus Perindopril, or bitherapy with Perindopril plus Amlodipine.
