Technology-supported mindfulness-based interventions reduce symptoms of prenatal and postpartum depression, according to a meta-analysis of 18 articles representing 2,481 participants. The pooled effect showed a moderate positive effect on maternal depression. The intervention was effective for both prenatal depression and postpartum depression. No studies from low-income countries were included, which limits generalizability to low- and middle-income countries where such interventions could improve access to care.
