The goal of this study is to investigate whether pregnant people at risk of, or currently suffering from antenatal depression, find it acceptable to use the 'HappyMums' mobile application during their pregnancy. This app will collect data relevant to their mental health passively and through active engagement from the user. After the study is complete, these data will be put together to determine if such data types could be used in future to help predict and identify antenatal depression, and aid better treatment decisions.
