Adapting the Stanford Obstetric Recovery Checklist in Postpartum Women to a Digital Health Platform: A Feasibility Study

Explore patient experiences engaging with a digital tool (app- and web-based) to support postpartum recovery.

Postpartum recovery involves physical, emotional, and social changes, and many patients report unmet needs for timely guidance and reassurance. Digital health applications may provide scalable support by collecting patient-reported wellbeing data and delivering tailored education and self-management guidance. However, patient experience, acceptability, perceived usefulness require evaluation to inform implementation and improvements.

Primary objective

• To evaluate patient experience using the postpartum recovery app, including acceptability, usability, and perceived usefulness for the first 12 weeks postpartum.

Secondary objectives

* To characterize how patients engage with app content over time. * To gather patient recommendations for content and wording. * To evaluate patient engagement with the app over first 12 weeks postpartum (frequency and duration of use).
