The prevalence of excessive gestational weight gain (eGWG) and its associated adverse outcomes pose significant public health challenges. However, the application and effectiveness of persuasive system design (PSD) features in digital interventions for gestational weight gain management have not been systematically examined. This systematic review analyzed 13 digital health interventions for gestational weight management to assess their application of PSD features. A literature search across 7 databases identified 32 articles of pregnancy-specific digital tools with weight-tracking. Analysis revealed Primary Task Support and Dialogue Support domains were most implemented, with Self-monitoring predominating, while Social Support feature remained significantly underutilized. Although most interventions employed multiple PSD domains, greater feature quantity did not correlate with superior outcomes. Strategic implementation of specific PSD features, rather than comprehensive inclusion, proves paramount for effectiveness. Future development should emphasize theoretically grounded design, explore social support mechanisms, and adopt evidence-based feature selection to enhance efficacy.

摘要

The prevalence of excessive gestational weight gain (eGWG) and its associated adverse outcomes pose significant public health challenges. However, the application and effectiveness of persuasive system design (PSD) features in digital interventions for gestational weight gain management have not been systematically examined. This systematic review analyzed 13 digital health interventions for gestational weight management to assess their application of PSD features. A literature search across 7 databases identified 32 articles of pregnancy-specific digital tools with weight-tracking. Analysis revealed Primary Task Support and Dialogue Support domains were most implemented, with Self-monitoring predominating, while Social Support feature remained significantly underutilized. Although most interventions employed multiple PSD domains, greater feature quantity did not correlate with superior outcomes. Strategic implementation of specific PSD features, rather than comprehensive inclusion, proves paramount for effectiveness. Future development should emphasize theoretically grounded design, explore social support mechanisms, and adopt evidence-based feature selection to enhance efficacy.
