This is an observational research study of a new pregnancy tracker used to gather information about a pregnant woman's general wellness.
The Owlet Band is a wellness product (similar to a fitbit), it is not designed to be a "medical device". The study involves women age 18 and older who are currently pregnant, at least 24 weeks' gestation or later, and who live in the USA. Up to 8,000 pregnant women are expected to participate in the study. This study will involve review of Owlet Band data and participant responses to questionnaires throughout the study. The purpose of this research is to observe if using the new Owlet Band and the associated iPhone app can help pregnant women in managing their habits, anxiety, stress, enhancing bonding and attachment to their infant, while still maintaining their standard medical care.
