The HELMS Programme Invites GPs to Refer Patients for Research Study
AN INTERVENTIONAL STUDY TO OPTIMISE CARE THROUGHOUT THE PRECONCEPTION, PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM JOURNEY
The Healthy Early Life Moments in Singapore (HELMS) programme by KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) is a research study which aims to optimise the metabolic health and mental wellness of women, to:
Improve fertility
Lower the risk of premature delivery and developing hypertension and diabetes
Promote the healthy growth of the child
HELMS supports women who are planning to conceive, aged between 21 and 40 years, and with a BMI of 25 to 40 kg/m2, through an integrated maternal-child care plan from preconception, throughout pregnancy and for the first 18 months after delivery.
