Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app with short weekly exercises can help first-time parents manage emotions and reduce depression during pregnancy. About 572 expectant mothers and fathers in Singapore will use the app or receive standard care. Participants will also wear a Fitbit and complete surveys until six months after birth.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mobile app with mindfulness and emotional regulation exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help expectant parents manage stress and reduce depressive symptoms during pregnancy.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage behavioral study with no blinding, so results may be influenced by participant expectations. The app's effects may be small or not last long-term.
