Transforming Maternal Mental Health Care
Sponsor: University of Utah
Summary
The overall objective of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a RCT comparing Lōvu-augmented with usual prenatal care at UU. This would be a critical next step toward the long-term goal to identify technology-based interventions to improve maternal mental health in the Intermountain West. The investigator's central hypothesis is that Lōvu will be both feasible and have high patient and clinician satisfaction, and that Lōvu-generated data will be a promising substrate for AI-based mental health risk stratification.

Interventions
Lōvu platform
Standard prenatal care + Lōvu platform. Participant receives a Bluetooth-enabled scale, BP cuff, and handheld fetal Doppler. Orientation to Lōvu app and device use. Lōvu-generated data (e.g., weight, BP, HR) will be visible to the Lovu team and sent to the UU clinical team weekly Participant-reported outcomes (satisfaction, usability) collected via System Usability Scale (SUS)
Standard Care Arm
Standard prenatal care per UU clinical protocols Mental health screening via PHQ-9, GAD-7, EPDS, and NIDA Quick Screen at standard intervals (these are all validated surveys) Data collected from EHR.
