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

Summary

This study tests a smartphone app designed to help African American and Spanish-speaking patients recognize warning signs of pregnancy-related death. Participants choose symptoms they are having and get advice on when to call a doctor or go to the emergency room. The goal is to see if the app improves patients' ability to take charge of their health and increases knowledge of danger signs.
