Promoting Healthy Brain Development: Wellness for 2 Study

The Mothers and Babies course (MB) is a 12-session manualized stress-reduction intervention that will be delivered to participants, prenatally, with an integrated technology suite designed for timely detection and response to maternal stress.

"Participants will also receive additional MB intervention content in the form of just-in-time text messages, which will be sent to participants' smartphones every other day for up to 12 weeks. During the current trial, participants will receive text message prompts with links to additional stress reduction content based on a combination of their objective (sensor) and subjective (EMA) stress responses from the previous day."

During the intervention period, participants will be asked to wear the BioStamp nPoint sensor, daily, while engaging in their usual activities (e.g., sleep, showering, exercise). The BioStamp Sensor is a thin, wearable patch, equipped with wireless high-range 6-axis gyroscope + accelerometer, and sEMG and ECG sensors, that adheres to the skin using a disposable medical-grade adhesive sticker (with adhesive similar to Band-Aid).
