AI app aims to stop diabetes in pregnancy before it starts
NCT ID NCT07582068
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app called "Better Pregnancy" can help prevent gestational diabetes in pregnant women at high risk. About 400 women will either use the app plus get standard prenatal care, or receive standard care alone. The app provides personalized diet, activity, and sleep tips using artificial intelligence. The main goal is to see if the app reduces the number of women who develop gestational diabetes.
