The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a Project Grant to Bumptup Labs, Inc. under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) in the amount of $295,883 on June 1, 2024. The grant will fund the clinical testing and refinement of Bumptup, a mobile health app designed to increase physical activity and improve obstetric outcomes among pregnant and postpartum women.
The project aims to conduct a randomized controlled trial to assess the app's efficacy in increasing physical activity levels during pregnancy and postpartum, as well as perform design changes to improve the app's usability and algorithm performance based on trial results. Ultimately, this effort seeks to develop an enhanced version of the Bumptup app that can be commercialized to improve maternal health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. The NICHD's Extramural Research program supports scientific research focused on advancing human health through the study of developmental processes, reproductive biology, and pediatric medical conditions.
