This $295,128 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (CFDA 93.865) program supports the development and feasibility testing of an app-based Circadian Synchronization Therapy with Light (CST-L) intervention for pregnant women. The goal is to create a mobile application for iOS and Android that can help improve maternal mood, health, and infant sleep by optimizing circadian rhythms through personalized lighting and behavior change recommendations. The Phase I STTR project will evaluate the feasibility of the CST-L intervention by collecting feedback from 20 pregnant women who use the app and blue-blocking glasses for 4 weeks, with iterative updates to the app based on user feedback. If successful, this intervention could help reduce risks of preterm birth, postpartum depression, and other poor pregnancy and postpartum outcomes.
