App with chatbot aims to boost mental health checks for moms

NCT ID NCT07322042

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app called Moment for Parents can help pregnant and postpartum women complete mental health screenings more regularly. 160 women in Michigan will be randomly assigned to use either the full app with a chatbot or a simplified version without it. The goal is to see if the chatbot makes screening feel more personal and supportive, leading to twice as many completed check-ins over 12 weeks.

Active substance

Moment for Parents app with chatbot

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a chatbot-based app improves mental health screening adherence, leading to earlier detection and treatment of depression and anxiety in new and expectant mothers.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (160 participants) testing adherence, not clinical outcomes. The app may not increase screening rates, and results may not apply to broader populations.
