Digital Early Labour (DIGI-EL)

Welcome to DIGI-EL, a research project for women pregnant with their first child. The project investigates whether the mobile application Early Labour App can influence the experience of early labour.

The DIGI-EL research project is evaluating whether digital support can help reduce anxiety, stress and fear during pregnancy and labour in first-time mothers and their partners. We also want to investigate whether the labour experience, confidence in own abilities, partner support during labour, and birth outcomes are affected by using digital support. We also want to know more about the experience of using a mobile application during pregnancy and early labour.
