HTAInterventions to reduce or prevent obesity in pregnant women: a systematic review NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' . The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps i...

“…Some studies have found a significant reduction of blood pressure with daily intake of chocolate, resulting in a reduced risk of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia [71], [72]. Although previous research have found a positive influence of physical activity on pregnant women and their infants [73][74][75], there is a lack of clinically-validated research aimed to determine the influence of exercise on risk of hypertensive disorders. However, exercise is included among recommendations for pregnant women with hypertensive disorders due to its positive influence on complications.…”

Background: Hypertensive disorders are the most common complications during pregnancy with incidence rates between 5% and 11% of pregnancies, being gestational hypertension and preeclampsia the leading causes of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) where maternal and perinatal mortality ratios are still high. Pregnant women with hypertensive disorders could greatly benefit from m-Health solutions, as a novel way to identify and control early symptoms, as shown in an increasing number of publications in the field. Those digital health solutions may overcome access limiting factors and the lack of skilled medical professionals and finances

“…Specifically, the intervention designed from the formative research reported here can be used to inform how physical activity messaging is incorporated into Text4-baby in the future. The current Text4baby curriculum has limited SMS about physical activity, and because the evidence supporting participation in physical activity as part of a healthy pregnancy is ample [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], there is a need to modify standard Text4baby physical activity SMS in light of these findings.…”

“…For the mother, benefits may include weight control [4] and reduced risk of early delivery and gestational diabetes [2,3,[5][6][7], and for the fetus, benefits may include improved stress tolerance and a decrease in resting fetal heart rate [8][9][10][11][12]. Despite these benefits, only 15.8 % of pregnant women (as compared to 26 % of non-pregnant women) achieve recommendations for physical activity [6,13,14] (i.e., meeting physical activity recommendations of 150 min of moderate intensity activity per week) [15][16][17].…”

Text4baby is a free, mobile health information service for pregnant and post-partum women. This study aims to understand preferences of physical activity text messages (SMS), sequentially develop prototype SMS, and determine preferred dose of SMS to inform a future study utilizing Text4baby. This study had a user-centered design with three phases: (1) literature review and interviews with pregnant women for development of prototype SMS, (2) interviews with health care professionals and pregnant women for prototype SMS feedback, and (3) survey to determine preferred dose of SMS. Data from interviews identified knowledge and support as major themes. Prototypes were developed (N=14) and informed 168 SMS. Pregnant women (N=326) thought three SMS/week were about right (50.2 %) and preferred three SMS/week throughout pregnancy (71.9 %). There is a need for opportunities for behavioral scientists to incorporate evidence-based practices within scalable interventions. As such, this research will inform utilization of Text4-baby to potentially improve physical activity participation.
