Summary

This study will test if mindfulness training, with or without a wearable biosensor watch, can help prevent preeclampsia in pregnant women at moderate to high risk. 90 women will be split into three groups: mindfulness plus the watch, mindfulness alone, or standard prenatal care. The main goal is to see if such a study is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it prevents preeclampsia.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: mindfulness training and wearable biosensor biofeedback
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to lower the risk of preeclampsia in pregnant women.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early feasibility study with only 90 participants. It is not yet testing if the approach actually prevents preeclampsia, only if the study itself is practical.
