“…The proposed system rises with the need to optimize the monitoring of high-risk pregnancies considering various aspects involved in the control of this type of pregnancy. Both in the literature [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ] and the market applications [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], there are several systems addressed towards self-care and monitoring of pregnancies, which offer biosignal control services and data related to risk conditions during pregnancy, helping clinicians and patients to take timely actions. In this regard, we analyzed a set of telemonitoring systems proposed in the literature and founded in the application market, based on the following aspects (see Table 1 ): Patient application (PA): application that can be used by patients to monitor their pregnancy.…”

“…Telemonitoring is defined as the set of support systems and medical services that perform remote monitoring of a patient’s situation and their vital parameters, allowing the aid of provision and health care to patients in their usual environment [ 8 ]. Some works [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ] have proposed systems that monitor hypertensive, diabetic, and/or high-risk pregnant women. However, these systems lack important services, such as managing a patient’s medical history, identifying a possible risk situation, notifying the responsible physician in real time, receiving medical recommendations, and monitoring the infant, among others.…”

A high-risk pregnancy is one in which pathological problems or abnormal conditions are latent during pregnancy and childbirth, increasing dangers to the mother’s or the infant’s health. Based on international standards and studies, most of the harms and risks to both the mother and the infant can be detected, treated, and prevented through proper pregnancy monitoring, as well as through appropriate and timely diagnosis. In this paper, we present the analysis, design, development, and usability assessment of a telemonitoring system focused on the remote monitoring and control of pregnancy in women suffering from hypertension, diabetes, or high-risk pregnancy. Our system is composed of two mobile web applications. One of these is designed for the medical area, allowing remote monitoring of the patient’s pregnancy, and the other one is directed towards the patient, who enters the alarm symptom data, hypertension data, diabetes data, and clinical analyses, allowing the detection of a risk situation on time. Furthermore, we performed a usability assessment of our system based on a laboratory study with seven doctors and seven patients to evaluate the users’ satisfaction. Our telemonitoring system shows a satisfactory/favorable opinion from the users’ perspectives based on the obtained results.

“…There are several possible reasons: firstly, the migrants are poorly educated and they lack knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth. [28] Secondly, it is important that members of the migrants do not have a local household registration (hukou) [29]. Hence, they are not entitled to certain local government benefits [30].…”

Background In recent years, there is a growing tendency for pregnant women suffered from anxiety, which not only affects the health of pregnant women and the development of children, but also poses a serious burden on families and society. However, few studies have focused on the factors that contribute to anxiety during pregnancy, especially among migrants.Methods A total of 400 pregnant women from a tertiary hospital in Jinan, the provincial capital of Shandong Province. Anxiety was used as dependent variable based on Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Descriptive statistics were presented and a multi-logistic regression analysis were conducted to explore the factors associated with anxiety during pregnancy. STATA 14.2 software was used for analysis.Results The prevalence rate of anxiety in pregnant women is 25.7%. The multi-logistic regression indicates that pregnant women who have longer hospital stay (OR=1.15, p<0.05), who live in rural areas (OR=3.81, p<0.05) and who have pressure during pregnancy (OR=3.98, p<0.05) are more likely to have anxiety. Meanwhile, compared with the lowest income group, group Q2 and Q3 was significantly associated with higher odds of anxiety (OR=1.89, p<0.05; OR=3.37, p<0.05). Those who are local residents (OR=0.59, p<0.59) and who have higher social support points (OR=0.95, p<0.05) are less likely to have anxiety during pregnancy.Conclusions Pregnant women have poor anxiety, and the influencing factors are complex and varied. Therefore, Risk factors such as migrants, living in cities, more life stress, lower family income, longer hospital stays, and less social support should be taken into concern and individualized intervention should be adopted.
