Can your phone predict postpartum depression treatment success?
NCT ID NCT07577947
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will enroll 250 pregnant or postpartum women with moderate-to-severe depression to see if adding digital data from smartphones and smartwatches can better predict how well they respond to treatment. Participants will receive a 12-week program that includes online cognitive-behavioral therapy or clinician-delivered therapy. The goal is to improve clinical decision-making for perinatal depression, especially for low-income mothers with limited access to care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
online cognitive-behavioral therapy course (ParentMood program)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more personalized and effective way to predict and treat perinatal depression using digital sensing.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study without a control group, so it cannot prove the treatment works. The digital sensing approach may not improve predictions significantly.
