A parallel-group randomized controlled trial that will evaluate the efficacy of a mobile health (m-Health) program on influencing diet, supplement use and physical activity during pregnancy. Pregnant women will be randomly assigned to the intervention and the non-intervention arm. The intervention arm will receive free of cost m-Health application that will screen on the diet, supplement use and physical activity at enrollment and at 4 follow-ups, each 6 weeks apart. Based on the information provided by women, they will receive personalised recommendations based on an algorithm developed using the World Health Organization's guidelines on nutrition during pregnancy and American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines for physical activity during pregnancy. The non-intervention arm will receive standard face-face counselling. The changes in diet and supplement use of both groups will be assessed using the Dietary Risk Score. Also, biochemical assessment of micronutrients will be carried out on a subset. the change in physical activity will be assessed by the mean duration of reported activity. The secondary outcomes include the evaluation of compliance and usability of the m-Health application. Also, the effect of the m-Health application on maternal, newborn and infant outcomes will be assessed.
