First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether a structured, personalized exercise plan—tracked with a smartwatch and supported by regular phone check-ins—can help control blood sugar, blood pressure, and weight gain in pregnant women with gestational diabetes, chronic hypertension, or obesity. Researchers compare outcomes between women who follow the exercise guidelines and those who do not. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications like preterm birth and low birth weight.
