Piloting JUN_Pregnancy Mobile Medical App

Purpose

This research activity looks at the safety of an investigational intervention, a mobile health (mHealth) app called JUN, that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to track symptoms and give time-sensitive feedback to pregnant women. JUN is an intervention being developed to provide education and assist with decision making during pregnancy. The researchers hope to learn differences in how effectively the participant use of the app is amongst women with and without criminal justice oversight such as adult probation or parole.

Detailed Description

In this proposed pilot study, the investigators will use mixed methods to examine differences across three months among pregnant women. Sampling will be within three ethnically and geographically diverse sites, Texas, Oregon, and Minnesota to determine if there are differences in self-efficacy amongst pregnant women on Community Service (CS) compared to pregnant women without criminal justice oversight.
