Activity tracking devices in pregnancy: Understanding the participant experience in a longitudinal birth cohort
Findings presented here can support compliance in future studies or PA interventions utilizing similar technology. Incentives for compliance with study protocols and enhanced communication with the research team can improve participant engagement. Future work will address the need to communicate the interests of pregnant persons to clinical care teams, specifically, improvements to how providers share information on PA.
