Pregnancy brings many challenges, particularly in managing stress and ensuring quality sleep. Self-monitoring devices promise to fill care gaps between clinic visits, but how effective are they in improving outcomes?
A recent pilot study powered by Centralive investigated the association between wear time (behavioral engagement) of an OURA ring and sleep/stress outcomes in 20 pregnant women.
The findings were intriguing:
- High Engagement Group: Experienced higher stress and negative sleep trends.
- Low Engagement Group: Showed positive improvements in sleep duration and quality, with trends moving toward normal levels.
- Overall Insight: Behavioral engagement, as measured by wear time, didn’t strongly correlate with better outcomes.
This is where Centralive can make a game-changing impact. Centralive enhances self-monitoring technologies by transforming raw data into actionable insights, addressing the limitations seen in wearables like smart rings.
How Centralive Supports Pregnant Persons:
- Advanced algorithms to interpret stress and sleep data with accuracy and reliability.
- Tools to provide personalized insights, not just raw data, enabling better self-care decisions.
- Seamless integration with self-monitoring devices to reduce user burden and decision fatigue.
At Centralive, we’re not just measuring data—we’re redefining how health insights are delivered, empowering pregnant persons to take control of their sleep, stress, and well-being.
