Using the PowerMom Digital Health Platform to Support Prenatal Mental Health and Maternal Health Outcomes: Observational Cohort Study
The PowerMom platform demonstrated its value in facilitating remote, scalable data collection for maternal mental health research. Pregnant individuals reporting treatment for anxiety or depression experienced more physical symptoms and worse postpartum mental health outcomes than untreated individuals. These findings underscore the potential for mobile health technologies to support future interventional studies aimed at improving maternal mental health outcomes during pregnancy.
