Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Up to 30 pregnant women with a pre-pregnancy BMI ≥30 kg/m2 will use the Health Village digital pathway that delivers the Hope‑D gestational and postpartum weight management program for one week. After using the pathway participants complete the System Usability Scale and take part in semi-structured interviews via Microsoft Teams, which will be audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed qualitatively. Participants will report device type and give feedback on technical usability (login, navigation, links, visual design), content relevance and clarity, and on general and individual weight management plans. The study focuses on identifying usability issues and gathering user preferences to refine the digital pathway for gestational and six-month postpartum care.
