Summary

This trial will test the effectiveness of an mHealth app (BumptUp) to improve physical activity levels, weight status, dietary intake, glucose tolerance, blood pressure, and mental health in pregnant and postpartum rural women.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking pregnant women aged 18-44 with a confirmed singleton pregnancy, who own a smartphone and plan to deliver at The Medical Center in Bowling Green, KY. They must be patients at specific clinics and have physician approval to exercise.

What is being tested?

The study tests if the BumptUp mobile app can boost physical activity levels among rural pregnant/postpartum women compared to those just using an educational brochure. It also looks at effects on weight, diet, glucose tolerance, blood pressure, and mental health.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves exercise guidance through an app and educational materials rather than medication or medical procedures, side effects are minimal but may include typical risks associated with physical activity during pregnancy.
