Objectives

The study developed, beta-tested, and now evaluates health and economic outcomes for a digital health intervention called the MOMitorTM smartphone application (app). The app provides a tool for maternal healthcare clinicians and their patients in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UF Health, with plans to extend beyond. Designed to supplement perinatal care from home, MOMitorTM screens pregnant and postpartum patients in real time for symptoms of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, including: mental health symptoms, blood pressure, diabetes, cardiomyopathy, infection monitoring, substance use, and lactation concerns. App-delivered screenings and communications provide patients with additional support and educational resources during pregnancy and the postpartum.

Data collected from participants in the MOMitorTM smartphone application (app) are securely housed and maintained via CoDES servers. The research infrastructure provided by CoDES facilitates a secure environment and sophisticated analytical tools to work with these data.
