The e-Perinatal intervention is a personalized mobile health (mHealth) program
The e-Perinatal intervention is a personalized mobile health (mHealth) program that includes: 1) Digital micro-interventions focused on psychological, physical activity, and healthy lifestyle domains; 2) a personalized recommendation engine; 3) a social support section; 4) mental health monitoring; 5) an 'SOS' button for assistance; and 6) an appointment reminder tool. The intervention is delivered through a mobile application and is integrated into routine maternal care. Participants will use the app from recruitment (pregnancy) until 12 months of postpartum.
