This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The IMPACT trial is testing two different ways to help mothers avoid health problems in the weeks after leaving the hospital with their newborn. One approach sends you reminders and educational information through your phone or computer, while the other offers scheduled video or phone visits with your care provider. Both models include home visits, and researchers want to see which method helps catch and treat complications faster.
Many new mothers struggle to get the care and support they need after going home from the hospital, which can lead to serious health problems. This study aims to find the best way to reach mothers quickly—whether through push notifications reminding them to check vital signs, or through scheduled telehealth visits—so complications can be caught and treated sooner.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the first group, you'll receive in-person education at the hospital and then get regular reminders through your phone or computer to check your vital signs at home and share them with your care team. In the second group, you'll have scheduled video or phone visits with your provider where you check your signs together. Both groups will receive home visits, and you'll be followed for one year after giving birth to track your health, mood, and how well the support is working.
