Join the SmartMom Study!
SmartMom is a Canadian prenatal education program delivered by text messages to guide you through each week of pregnancy. Messages arrive three times a week and each message contains a link to online resources.
We are conducting this study to learn if SmartMom improves health in pregnancy and childbirth.
The SmartMom study is open to pregnant people across Canada, except for BC and NS. If you join the study you will be randomized to either receive SmartMom messages or a set of general “Control” messages. The study is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and is led by Dr. Patricia Janssen, Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia.

What an incredible program! I loved the short bite-sized pieces of information throughout my 2nd pregnancy. It really helped put me at ease for the growth of my child before birth and the followup survey at the end was a clever way of helping assess how Moms were doing and to offer additional resources (mental health support, etc). It helped me be much more confident, more of a confident pregnant lady and now a parent again.
The information from SmartMom is better than any other baby app I’ve signed up with. You get very localized information to read versus mass amounts of tips. I like that I can sit down and read just one tip. I am a busy mom with a busy toddler so simple messaging is important for me.
I like that the one text was about making a list [of questions]. Because when you do have your prenatal appointments you maybe would feel a bit more prepared with some questions, things that had been brought up in the text messages. As opposed to trying to think of all the things that you want to ask your doctor at your one appointment. Because it’s not easy to just go in and ask a question, right?

I see a lot of prenatal women in early pregnancy, and many are already using a variety of pregnancy phone apps. While I know that some of that information is accurate, it’s helpful for me to have an evidence-based resource to offer these moms!
SmartMom is a great service! It has clear messaging for moms to share with their families. With everyone…using smartphones, it is very convenient. Since it is portable, women are not dragged to a computer to look up information. As a nurse, I am pleased with this option for self-education. It is empowering for women to get the information on their own.
