Mobile-health (mHealth) tools that support dietary awareness and supplement reminders have been proposed as a way to improve behaviour and outcomes. This study tested whether the NutriAide app (developed by the National Institute of Nutrition), used for daily dietary self-logging, adds measurable benefit over standard antenatal care in anaemic pregnant women.
