Healthy Mom Zone Gestational Weight Gain Management Intervention 2.0

The intervention may be adapted such that a woman receives more support with each adaptation (only women who need added support to regulate GWG will receive adaptation). The model-based predictive control system in the HMZ 2.0 digital platform will continually and automatically evaluate GWG, identify when a woman may exceed GWG guidelines, and recommend an adaptation. The registered dietitian will review the data and behavior strategies that are suggested (guided PA workouts, EI cooking demonstrations, customized grocery planning, portion size control, food scales, and meal replacements). Practical, easy-to-adopt examples will be provided (walking in 5-10 min increments throughout the day to increase PA kcal, reduce sitting by 5 min/hour; replace 8 oz of whole milk with skim milk to reduce EI kcal) to facilitate behavior change while adhering to safety standards. Each woman's unique preferences and past successes with strategies are also considered when personalizing the dosage.

Consistent with guidelines for comparator groups, all women will receive prenatal care offered by recruitment sites with routine provider visits, counseling about prenatal behaviors (e.g., no smoking), and clinical oversight of health. Women randomized to the attention control group will complete the same measurement procedures as the intervention group.
