NCT ID NCT06917703
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a mobile health program called i-PregMom, which includes a smartphone app and digital food diary, to help pregnant women manage their blood sugar and weight gain. Researchers will enroll 160 first-time mothers and track their progress from early pregnancy (10-14 weeks) to mid-pregnancy (24-28 weeks). The goal is to see if the app is easy to use and effective in keeping weight gain and blood sugar levels within healthy ranges.
