The Usability and Effectiveness of Mobile Health Technology–Based Lifestyle and Medical Intervention Apps Supporting Health Care During Pregnancy: Systematic Review

The Usability and Effectiveness of Mobile Health Technology–Based Lifestyle and Medical Intervention Apps Supporting Health Care During Pregnancy: Systematic Review

There are more apps available to support pregnancy than for any other medical domain [7]. Apps can contribute to healthy lifestyle during pregnancy, as pregnancy is a critical teachable period in the lives of young women [8]. App use is often associated with intentions to change diet and physical activity. However, the quality, reliability, and effectiveness of current available pregnancy apps are undetermined.

Discovering Cohorts of Pregnant Women From Social Media for Safety Surveillance and Analysis

To address these issues, pregnancy exposure registries are developed for new medications. These registries enroll women prospectively (eg, after exposure but before childbirth) in a voluntary fashion and follow them for the entire duration of the pregnancy or longer.

Shaping Adoption and Sustained Use Across the Maternal Journey: Qualitative Study on Perceived Usability and Credibility in Digital Health Tools

Shaping Adoption and Sustained Use Across the Maternal Journey: Qualitative Study on Perceived Usability and Credibility in Digital Health Tools

In recent years, the challenges in maternal health have shifted from lowering maternal and infant mortality rates to managing complicated health outcomes such as obesity in women before, during, and after pregnancy [2]. Unhealthy weight in women can have implications for both mothers (eg, attempts at conception, pregnancy-related complications, and mental health disorders) and their children (eg, increased risks of childhood obesity and developmental problems later in life) [1,2].

Exploring Pregnancy-Related Information-Sharing Behavior Among First-Time Southeast Asian Fathers: Qualitative Semistructured Interview Study

Exploring Pregnancy-Related Information-Sharing Behavior Among First-Time Southeast Asian Fathers: Qualitative Semistructured Interview Study

Fathers have emerged as active participants in the pursuit of pregnancy-related information [7,8]. This is one of the many ways fathers become involved in the pregnancy journey, which involves obtaining information about pregnancy to improve their knowledge [2]. Fathers navigate the vast landscape of the internet and engage with specialized app, websites, blogs, and online support groups [9-12].

Identifying Fraudulent Responses in a Study Exploring Delivery Options for Pregnancies Impacted by Gestational Diabetes: Lessons Learned From a Web-Based Survey

Identifying Fraudulent Responses in a Study Exploring Delivery Options for Pregnancies Impacted by Gestational Diabetes: Lessons Learned From a Web-Based Survey

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common complications associated with pregnancy. In Canada, GDM is on the rise, with a near doubling of GDM diagnoses from 4% in 2004 to 7% in 2014 [1]. Globally, the rate of GDM is estimated to be 14.7%, according to the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups [2]. Current literature is unclear on the safety and optimal timing of delivery for pregnant individuals with GDM.

A Mindfulness-Based App Intervention for Pregnant Women: Qualitative Evaluation of a Prototype Using Multiple Case Studies

A Mindfulness-Based App Intervention for Pregnant Women: Qualitative Evaluation of a Prototype Using Multiple Case Studies

This occurs in 14.5% during pregnancy and reaches up to 49% in the first year after delivery [3]. Although psychoeducational interventions aimed at the psychological well-being of pregnant women are still scarce, ensuring a positive pregnancy experience is crucial, as it lays the foundation for cognitive motivation and a healthy future relationship between mother and child [11]. The use of digital tools represents a promising solution.

Association Between Gestational Weeks, Initial Maternal Perception of Fetal Movement, and Individual Interoceptive Differences in Pregnant Women: Cross-Sectional Study

Association Between Gestational Weeks, Initial Maternal Perception of Fetal Movement, and Individual Interoceptive Differences in Pregnant Women: Cross-Sectional Study

Fetal movements begin in the eighth week of pregnancy, initially subtle and imperceptible to pregnant women. In the absence of maternal or fetal complications, differences in fetal development up to 20 weeks of gestation are minimal [3]. Therefore, fetal development is unlikely to influence a pregnant woman’s initial awareness of fetal movement. Recently, interoception has attracted attention in the fields of psychosomatic medicine and psychology [4].

Predictors of Participation in a Perinatal Text Message Screening Protocol for Maternal Depression and Anxiety: Prospective Cohort Study

Predictors of Participation in a Perinatal Text Message Screening Protocol for Maternal Depression and Anxiety: Prospective Cohort Study

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders such as depression and anxiety are among the most common complications of pregnancy affecting as many as 20% of pregnant and postpartum individuals [1]. Failure to identify those at risk of adverse perinatal mental health outcomes can have negative consequences for both mother and child [2].
