First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a mobile app called TrueBlue that automatically measures mood in pregnant women and new mothers. Researchers want to see if the app is safe, easy to use, and agrees with standard depression questionnaires. About 125 participants in Nottinghamshire, UK, will use the app for 12 weeks while their mood is tracked.

What this could lead to
If successful, this app could provide a simple, automated way to monitor mood changes and catch early signs of depression or anxiety in new and expecting mothers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage feasibility study, not a treatment trial. The app may not accurately detect mood changes, and results may not apply to broader populations.
