Efficacy of a Novel Digital Platform to Scale-Up a Personalized Prenatal Weight Gain Intervention Using Control Systems Methodology

Given this high risk and the rapidly changing landscape of healthcare delivery due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a timely need for automated, scalable approaches relying on remote delivery to regulate GWG. Our team addressed this need and developed the Healthy Mom Zone (HMZ) intervention with adapted dosages to regulate GWG. Adaptations give less treatment (e.g., education) to women who can self-regulate GWG within recommendations and more treatment (physical activity/energy intake activities) to women who need more support…
