NCT ID NCT03688087
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a smartphone app called 'Bouge' to see if it could help pregnant women walk more each day. 250 pregnant women used either the Bouge app or a placebo app starting at 15 weeks. The goal was to increase daily steps by 2,000. Researchers also looked at sleep, well-being, and back pain.
