Abstract
Digital health tools—mobile applications, remote monitoring devices, telehealth platforms, SMS reminders, and interactive educational portals—are reshaping how prenatal care is delivered and experienced. Obstetrical nursing, which sits at the intersection of clinical care and patient education, is uniquely positioned to leverage these technologies to improve prenatal adherence, enhance maternal knowledge, and support early risk detection. This paper investigates the impact of digital health interventions on pregnant persons’ adherence to prenatal appointments and recommendations, the quality and reach of patient education delivered by obstetrical nurses, and the implications for nursing workflows and health equity. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines a literature synthesis with a hospitalbased case study and structured surveys of nurses and pregnant patients, the study finds consistent improvements in appointment- keeping, medication and supplement adherence, self-monitoring (blood pressure, glucose), and patient-reported knowledge when digital tools are integrated into nursing care. Challenges include digital literacy gaps, privacy concerns, workflow integration, and variations in access. The conclusion outlines practical recommendations for obstetrical nurses, administrators, and policymakers to maximize benefits while minimizing unintended harms
