Digital Lifestyle Interventions to Support Healthy Gestational Weight Gain: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital lifestyle interventions hold promise in supporting healthy gestational weight gain (GWG) during pregnancy. However, clarity on their key design and implementation features remains limited. The prevalence of excessive GWG and its associated maternal and infant health risks makes understanding the landscape of digital intervention characteristics critical.

Objective

This scoping review aimed to map current literature on digital lifestyle interventions designed to promote healthy GWG and to identify intervention characteristics, including behavior change techniques (BCTs), used across these interventions, with particular attention to patterns in design and implementation features across studies reporting positive outcomes.
