Study summary

This study will take advantage of the open source framework of ResearchKit developed by Apple to bring research directly to participants. Using the ResearchKit platform as well as a stand alone app available for Android and HTML, it makes it easier to enroll large numbers of participants and carry out real-world health research to answer questions important to a broad population.

Read the detailed description
  • Eligibility determined, Individuals enrolled and consented to join study
  • Short Intake Survey (demographic and baseline health information collected)
  • Health History Survey (two days after participant enrolls in the study)
  • Survey questions about current health and medical history will be sent to participants weekly. If participants had a prenatal visit during the week, a few additional questions will be asked.
  • Twins / Multiples survey will begin appearing when a participant indicates they are having more than one baby
  • Participants can submit home measurements of, weight and blood pressure as frequently as they want through HealthKit.
  • Pregnancy outcome variables. (Miscarriage, stillbirth, birth of healthy baby, or pregnancy ended) will also be asked weekly.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 17, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
