BUMP
Goal/Objective:
The Better Understanding the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy (BUMP) study was designed to derive novel insights and deeper understanding of the pre-pregnancy and pregnancy experience with an aim to follow eight core symptoms (emesis, fatigue, edema, mood, cognition, dyspnea, gait, and blood pressure changes) through the use of connected devices such as wearable devices, smart home scales and smartphone apps. Our goal is to learn how best to provide knowledge and support to women during this major period of change. Despite pregnancy being a commonly occurring medical event that poses health risks to the pregnant woman and fetus, there is limited understanding of individual level experiences and on how to prevent and treat symptoms before they become higher risk complications.
Description of the study:
This BUMP study includes a BUMP cohort recruiting women up to and including 15 weeks pregnant, and a BUMP-Conception © cohort recruiting women who are trying to become pregnant. In both cohorts we collect passive and active measures of physiological, psychological, cognitive, sleep and physical symptoms from women. This wide array of objective and subjective measures of health will be collected from a central study app, a smart ring, a smart wristwatch (BUMP cohort only), and a smart scale (BUMP cohort only). These digital data will be complimented by information derived from standard of care clinical visits, while participants will be provided with knowledge (insights about their own symptoms), and support by phone check-ins with engagement specialists during participation.
Thank you for your interest in the BUMP study, we are no longer recruiting new participants.
