Pregnancy app aims to boost heart health in sedentary Moms-to-Be
NCT ID NCT07166822
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile app called BumptUp can help pregnant women who don't currently exercise become more active and improve their heart health. Fifty healthy women in their second trimester will either use the app for 8 weeks or receive no app. Researchers will measure changes in blood vessel function, heart rate variability, and motivation to exercise. The goal is to see if a simple smartphone tool can make a difference during pregnancy.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, app-based way to help pregnant women stay active and improve heart health.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all pregnant women. The app may not significantly change exercise habits or heart health.
