What this trial studies
This quality improvement project aims to boost uptake and use of Connected MOM Plus among pregnant and postpartum individuals. The study examines whether adding enhanced support and coaching leads to higher engagement with the digital tool and better use of health resources. It also assesses whether this support changes maternal and infant health outcomes. The initiative is conducted at Ochsner sites with Tulane University as lead sponsor and NICHD as a collaborator. Participation requires access to a smartphone and proficiency in English or Spanish, among other criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience better engagement with remote monitoring and improved health outcomes for themselves and their babies.
How similar studies have gone: Previous quality-improvement efforts using digital health tools in obstetric care have shown potential benefits when paired with targeted support, though results vary by setting.
