The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant titled "MINDFULNESS AND WEARABLE BIOSENSORS TO PREVENT HYPERTENSIVE DISORDERS OF PREGNANCY" to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. on Sep 22, 2025. This grant, under CFDA 93.361 - Nursing Research, supports research to determine if a prenatal mindfulness training intervention can be feasibly delivered across multiple sites and whether incorporating wearable biosensors can enhance the intervention's benefits in preventing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). The project aims to build on previous single-site studies demonstrating the feasibility and acceptability of the mindfulness training approach and its ability to reduce prenatal blood pressure and HDP recurrence. The multi-site clinical trial will explore the scalability and impact of the intervention, with the goal of developing an effective, non-pharmacological strategy to prevent these common and consequential pregnancy complications.
