Abstract：
Health and exercise technology may promote a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to understand and involve the perspective of pregnant women as users in the design of a framework for future e-health and exercise interventions during pregnancy. Pregnant women replied to a questionnaire aimed at understanding their physical activity patterns, needs, and preferences regarding the use of mobile applications (apps). The main results showed that one-third of the women did not practice any type of exercise during pregnancy. Women preferred to exercise in a gym, outdoors, or at home. The majority already had or were currently using a fitness app, but never used any pregnancy-specific app. Most women agreed that it was important to have a specific app for pregnancy to improve knowledge about recommendations on lifestyle, have direct contact with health and exercise professionals, have social interaction with other mothers, and have guidance on preparation for childbirth and postpartum recovery. Understanding and involving the perspective of pregnant women as users will allow researchers to improve the design of a pregnancy-specific app and future e-health and exercise interventions during pregnancy. These preliminary results will lead to the development of the \"active pregnancy app\" focused on the promotion of an active and healthy lifestyle during pregnancy and postpartum.
摘要：
健康和运动技术可以促进怀孕期间的健康生活方式。这项横断面研究的目的是了解孕妇作为使用者的观点，并将其纳入怀孕期间未来电子健康和运动干预措施的框架设计中。孕妇回答了一份旨在了解她们身体活动模式的问卷，需要,以及有关使用移动应用程序（apps）的首选项。主要结果显示，三分之一的女性在怀孕期间没有进行任何类型的锻炼。女人更喜欢在健身房锻炼，户外,或者在家。大多数人已经或正在使用健身应用程序，但从未使用过任何针对怀孕的应用程序。大多数女性都认为，重要的是要有一个特定的怀孕应用程序，以提高有关生活方式建议的知识，与健康和运动专业人士有直接联系，与其他母亲进行社交互动，并对分娩准备和产后恢复有指导。了解和涉及孕妇作为用户的观点将使研究人员能够改进怀孕特定应用程序的设计以及怀孕期间未来的电子健康和运动干预措施。这些初步结果将导致开发“积极怀孕应用程序”，专注于促进怀孕和产后积极健康的生活方式。
