eDoula Feasibility and Acceptability Study

This study is testing the eDoula app, which provides reading materials and videos based on your due date, along with helpful postpartum (after birth) guidance. The study wants to see how satisfied new mothers are with the eDoula app and how much they use it. You may be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 50 years old, pregnant with your first child, expecting one baby, speak English, and own a smartphone. The study is currently recruiting participants to use the app after first surveying women who don't use the app.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 60 participants. It will first survey women not using the app, then recruit participants to use the eDoula app.
What's involved
If you join, you would use the eDoula app and complete a survey after your baby is born. Your app use will be tracked from 19-28 weeks of pregnancy until delivery.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your satisfaction with the app will be measured in the 7 days following delivery.
