Digital Health Tracking for Pregnant Refugee Women with Gestational Hypertension
This study is looking at how digital tools can help detect high blood pressure (gestational hypertension) and other health issues in pregnant refugee women. If you are pregnant, a refugee, asylum seeker, or asylee, at least 18 years old, and have a smartphone, you might be able to join. The study uses a Nokia-Withings BPM Connect Blood Pressure Monitor for weekly blood pressure checks and Smartwatch Devices (Apple Watches and Fitbit Versa 3s) to track things like heart rate and sleep. Researchers want to see if these digital tools can accurately find gestational hypertension and help connect women to care. The goal is to improve how quickly and accurately high blood pressure is diagnosed in pregnant refugee women. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 75 participants. It is not specified if participants are randomly assigned to groups.
- What's involved
- You would take weekly blood pressure measurements using a provided monitor and manually enter them into a smartphone app. You would also wear a smartwatch (Apple Watch or Fitbit Versa 3) for continuous data collection, synced to your smartphone.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint for detecting gestational hypertension is measured at 13 months, which is the maximum duration of enrollment. The overall data collection will take place over 24 months.

What this trial measures
- Digital Sensitivity for detecting gestational hypertension (HTN)13 months [maximum duration of enrollment]
The diagnostic accuracy of the digital blood pressure cuffs will be compared to the measurements taken during in-person visits.
