ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of the MamaLift Plus app as a treatment for postpartum depression (PPD) in women who have recently given birth. The trial compares the use of this app to a control group that receives usual care without the app. The researchers hope to find that women using the MamaLift Plus app will have less severe symptoms of depression over a period of nine weeks compared to those who do not use the app.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be women aged 18 to 50 who have had a live childbirth within the last three months and have mild to moderate symptoms of postpartum depression, as indicated by a specific screening tool. They should also be able to read and speak English, consent to participate, and have access to a smartphone and the internet. Participants can expect to use the MamaLift Plus app regularly and will receive support throughout the study. It’s important to know that this trial is currently active but not recruiting new participants.
