Summary

This study tests a mobile app called e-Perinatal designed to prevent depression and anxiety during and after pregnancy. The app offers personalized tips, mental health tracking, and a support button. Researchers will enroll 3,000 pregnant women across primary care centers in Spain to see if using the app reduces the number of new cases of depression and anxiety compared to standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mobile health (mHealth) program (e-Perinatal app)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a scalable, low-cost way to prevent mental health disorders in new mothers using a smartphone app.
What could go wrong
This is a large trial but still early-stage for implementation. The app's effectiveness may vary by user engagement, and it relies on self-reporting and digital access, which may not reach all women equally.
