What this trial studies

This pilot study compares Lōvu-augmented prenatal care with usual care among pregnant patients at the University of Utah. The goals are to assess feasibility of conducting an RCT, patient and clinician satisfaction, and the utility of Lōvu-generated data for potential AI-based mental health risk stratification. The study acknowledges the high burden of perinatal mental health disorders and regional access challenges, and aims to address gaps in care by integrating remote monitoring and virtual engagement. Enrollment includes pregnant people under 14 weeks gestation receiving care at UU, with exclusion for participation in other remote monitoring studies. Interventions consist of the Lōvu platform alongside standard care, versus standard care alone.
