Description
Melek Rousian and co-authors lay out a trial of app-based lifestyle coaching for pregnant women with obesity, in this 2026 protocol paper. Obesity touches about one pregnancy in six worldwide and raises the odds of diabetes, blood pressure trouble, and later heart disease. The HYGEIA trial will enroll nine hundred thirty women with high body weight in their first fourteen weeks.
Half get six months of coaching through a tailored app, covering food, movement, mental health, vitamins, and quitting smoking or drinking, plus a video call. Half get usual care. The study tracks health gains, costs, and how the program could roll out nationwide.
