Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants will use the Health Village digital pathway for gestational and 6 months postpartum weight management, after which they will take part in semi-structured interviews conducted via Microsoft Teams and complete the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire assessing perceived acceptability and usability.
All interviews will be audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed qualitatively.
Participants will report whether they accessed the pathway via mobile phone or computer and evaluate the technical usability, including ease of login, fluency of navigation, functionality of links, and the overall visual design.
The content of the digital pathway will be assessed in terms of relevance, usefulness, completeness, and clarity. Participants will be asked whether all key topics were covered, which elements were most beneficial or motivating, and whether the content was appropriate for both the gestational and postpartum periods.
All participants will provide feedback on the weight management plan. Participants will review the general plan and the individual plan. Feedback will address the perceived suitability of the plan to support gestational and postpartum weight management, appropriateness of the six-month postpartum evaluation point, and the feasibility of presenting the plan in the digital maternity card.
All participants will evaluate the group coaching component. After reviewing the session themes, they will assess the added value of group coaching, appropriateness of session content and timing, complementarity to standard care, and preferences for individual coaching.
Similarly, participants will evaluate the individual coaching component, assessing its added value, appropriateness of content and timing, complementarity to standard care, and potential preference for group-based coaching.
