mHealth for Antenatal Mental Health

The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of using mobile technology for: 1. Implementing the recommendations of the Antenatal and postnatal mental health: clinical management and service guidance NICE guideline for recognising depression (i.e., Whooley questions followed by a validated screening instrument such as the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) during pregnancy using iPad Air tablets in the waiting area of general practices, midwifery services, or hospitals during antenatal clinics; and 2. Using a bespoke app running on pregnant women's own smartphones to monitor mood and symptoms of depression throughout pregnancy.
