Can virtual doula sessions and home monitoring prevent preeclampsia in black women?
NCT ID NCT07491510
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will test a telehealth group prenatal care program called Centering HER in 72 low-income, predominantly Black pregnant women in Kansas who are at moderate or high risk for preeclampsia. Participants will receive routine care plus seven doula-led virtual group sessions, a Bluetooth blood pressure cuff and scale, and optionally an Apple Watch. The goal is to see if this program improves blood pressure monitoring and aspirin use, and ultimately reduces early-onset preeclampsia.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
behavioral intervention: telehealth group prenatal care (Centering HER) with doula-led sessions, Bluetooth BP cuff/scale, and optional Apple Watch
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a practical way to reduce early-onset preeclampsia in high-risk, low-income Black women through better monitoring and aspirin adherence.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study (72 participants) that has not yet started recruiting. It tests a behavioral program, not a drug, so the impact may be limited and may not apply to other populations or settings.
