Summary
This study tested a mobile app called PCYCARE in 120 first-time pregnant women in their third trimester. The app provides educational modules and guided relaxation sessions over 21 days. Researchers measured changes in anxiety, sleep quality, and childbirth preparedness compared to routine care. The goal is to see if a simple digital tool can help women feel calmer and more prepared for childbirth.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way for pregnant women to manage anxiety and improve sleep without medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 120 participants, so results may not apply to all pregnant women. The app's benefits may be modest and need confirmation in larger studies.
