Conversational AI Platform for Early Pregnancy Care

This study is testing if a two-way texting platform called CIRCA Texting Platform can successfully recruit pregnant patients in Philadelphia. CIRCA uses artificial intelligence (AI) to send educational messages and match your questions with answers approved by doctors. The goal is to make it easier for people to get healthcare information and support during early pregnancy. You can join if you are a woman aged 15 or older, have a working mobile phone, can read English, and are less than 12 weeks and 6 days pregnant. The study will be considered successful if enough pregnant patients in Philadelphia sign up for the platform. The current recruitment status is unclear.
