Summary

Researchers are building a pregnancy weight management app and testing how it works alongside in-person counseling from healthcare professionals. The study enrolls 10 pregnant women over age 20 who have a singleton pregnancy and access to a smartphone, computer, or tablet. Participants receive individualized guidance on weight management and related health behaviors, and researchers measure changes in body weight and how easily women accept the technology.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
In-person pregnancy weight management counseling plus a pregnancy weight management app
What this could lead to
If the app and counseling model prove workable, it could offer pregnant women a structured way to track weight gain and get personalized diet and exercise guidance.
What could go wrong
This is a tiny feasibility study with 10 participants, so it cannot show whether the app actually improves pregnancy outcomes. The app may be hard to use, and any weight or behavior changes seen in such a small group may not hold up in larger trials.

An estimate. End dates often move.

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
