With growing demand for medical information and health applications in pregnancy, the potential of electronic (eHealth) mobile (mHealth) solutions clinical care is increasingly unfolding. However, we still do not know how pregnant women engage with apps, such apps impact routine care, whether benefit expectations are met.
