First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 1,000 pregnant women and their partners from early pregnancy to about two months after birth. Participants fill out short questionnaires at key timepoints to track how their health information needs change. Some may also share data from their smartphones or wearables. The goal is to identify gaps in information and improve support for families.

Who is studied
Participants will be recruited from pregnant women aged 18 or over attending a routine first-trimester ultrasound appointment at the Harris Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine, King's College Hospital, London, who are UK residents, able to give informed consent, able to read and understand English sufficiently to complete the study questionnaires, and have access to a compatible smartphone. Each pregnant participant may optionally nominate one partner - any individual identified as providing partner support, regardless of gender or relationship status - who meets the same age, residency, consent, language, and smartphone criteria. This is a demographically diverse urban NHS population.
