During my Ph.D., I delved into the FitMum project, dedicated to advancing maternal and child well-being through innovative interventions. In FitMum-RCT, we provided pregnant women with options: structured supervised exercise training or motivational counseling, integrating health technology throughout pregnancy. My PhD dissertation focused on exploring the impact of these interventions on pregnant women's physical activity, sleep, and sedentary behavior. Using various measurement methods, including activity trackers. I navigated the complexities of big data, utilizing R, I conducted robust statistical analyses and created compelling visualizations, offering valuable insights to the realm of maternal health.
