Hollestic nutrition smart phone app We are delighted that a smart phone app developed by the centre in collaboration with Dr Eileen O'Brien and Ms Sinead Curran at Dept of Dietetics at NMH was launched in 2021 for all pregnant women at NMH, nationally and internationally under name Hollestic, available on app store and free to download. It is based on the PEARS randomised controlled trial that found that an m-health lifestyle supported intervention resulted in less gestational weight gain, better sugar levels in mothers and less large for gestational infants. To date it has > 150,000 downloads, with the majority from outside Ireland. This is an excellent example of translation of research into a clinically useful tool for women attending National Maternity Hospital and globally.
