Developing and Testing Motherly App: a Smartphone Application to Promote Mothers' Mental Health

Study Description
Brief Summary:
The investigators plan to develop and test Motherly, a smartphone app to promote maternal mental health and child development. The Motherly app is visually appealing aimed at engaging the user with a minimalistic layout. The app will offer a gamified experience ideal for engaging youth in behaviors that can promote mental health, such as stimulating pleasure, productivity, and physical activities, connecting with peers, and eating healthy food. Pregnant women aged 16-34 living in Brazil will participate in the clinical trial to test the efficacy of the intervention.
