Summary

This study is testing whether a mobile phone app can help pregnant women at high risk for preeclampsia in Karachi, Pakistan, monitor their blood pressure and symptoms at home. Fifty women will use the app to send daily readings to their healthcare team, who can then respond if needed. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable in a low-resource setting, not yet to prove it prevents complications.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Raabta Telemonitoring Program (mobile application)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple mobile app is a practical way to monitor high-risk pregnancies in low-resource settings, potentially reducing maternal deaths from preeclampsia.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants in one city. It is not designed to prove the app prevents complications, only that it might be usable.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women at high-risk for preeclampsia (HRPE) who are either in their first or second trimester of pregnancy. The definition of HRPE will follow that of the NICE guidelines that define pregnant women at HRPE as those who have one high-risk factor or more than one moderate risk factor for preeclampsia. * Participants who can speak and read (at least at a rudimentary level with help from a caregiver) the Urdu language for ease of communication with the research team and to be able to use the telemonitoring system. * Partners (almost always male husbands in the Pakistani culture) and/or other caregivers (e.g., mother and mother-in-law) of pregnant women \[for post-study interviews\] * Clinicians and nurses involved in the implementation of the telemonitoring program \[for post-study interviews\] Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women at high-risk for preeclampsia who are admitted to hospital for the management of their preeclampsia condition
