Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial evaluates the impact of the SwasthGarbh mobile application on antenatal care among pregnant women in Northeast India. Conducted at AIIMS Guwahati, the study includes 190 participants, randomly divided into intervention and control groups. Women in the intervention group received standard antenatal care along with access to the SwasthGarbh app, while the control group received only standard care. The app provides features like appointment reminders, educational content, symptom tracking, and guidance on investigations and supplement intake. The study aims to improve maternal hemoglobin levels, antenatal visit compliance, and reduce obstetric and medical complications. It also seeks to enhance maternal knowledge and satisfaction with care. Participants will be recruited from the first trimester and followed out the through delivery. The study targets the underserved tribal population, aiming to bridge the digital health gap and promote evidence-based maternal care. Findings are expected to support the wider use of mHealth tools to strengthen maternal health services in low-resource settings.
