Based on the results of community diagnosis in Aluh-Aluh Besar village at neighborhood level, it was found that the main problem priority was hypertension. Hypertension is a non-communicable disease which is a public health problem and characterized by an increase in a person's blood pressure. This condition can lead to various health complications that endanger lives and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and even death. But in reality, there are still many people, especially those in the Aluh-Aluh Besar village at neighborhood level who do not yet understand about hypertension and its prevention efforts. Therefore, it is necessary to increase knowledge, attitudes and behavior through community empowerment to prevent and control hypertension in the community. Activities carried out in the form of providing information and education about hypertension online using the WhatsApp Group. The instruments used were electronic-based health promotion media and evaluation sheets using Google Form. The results of the evaluation of the activities indicated that there was a change in the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of the community regarding the prevention of hypertension. It is hoped that the community involved in this activity will know more about efforts to prevent hypertension and avoid causative factors that can aggravate the patient's condition. In addition, health officers in providing health education are expected to pay more attention to the social environmental conditions of the community.
