This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research is testing whether two digital health tools—a mobile app focused on lifestyle changes (called Noom) and a home blood pressure monitor—can help protect your heart health after you've had high blood pressure or related complications during pregnancy. The study will follow you for one year after delivery, checking your heart function and blood pressure at 3 and 12 months. Half of participants will use these digital tools alongside their regular care, while the other half will receive their usual care only.
Women who develop high blood pressure or preeclampsia during pregnancy have a higher risk of heart disease later in life. This study exists to see whether using digital health tools at home—where you can easily track your blood pressure and get lifestyle support—can help prevent future heart problems in this group.

If you join, you'll come to the hospital for heart ultrasounds (echocardiograms) and blood pressure checks at 3 months and 12 months after delivery. If randomly assigned to the digital health group, you'll also receive a home blood pressure monitor and access to the Noom mobile app to use throughout the year alongside your regular medical care. If assigned to the control group, you'll simply receive your usual postpartum care while the researchers track your heart health at those same two time points.
