Personalized Care for Prenatal Stress Reduction & Prevention of Preterm Birth (PTB) Disparities

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a personalized prenatal support program \[(Personalized Toolkit Building a Comprehensive Approach to Resource optimization and Empowerment in Pregnancy \& Beyond, (PTBCARE+)\] works to lower stress and lower the risk of early delivery in pregnant individuals at high-risk for delivering preterm. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Does the PTBCARE+ patient support program lower patient-reported stress levels during pregnancy? * Does the PTBCARE+ patient support program improve biologic measures of stress during pregnancy? * Does the PTBCARE+ patient support program result in a higher chance of delivering a healthy baby at or close to full term? Researchers will compare people who participate in the PTBCARE+ patient support program to those receive usual care to see if the PTBCARE+ patient support program lowers patient-reported stress, improves biologic measures of stress, and increases the chance of delivering a healthy baby at or close to full term. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the PTBCARE+ patient support program or usual prenatal care. All participants will be asked to: * complete 2 study visits during pregnancy - including completing electronic surveys, providing a blood and urine sample, measuring the heart rate variability by a clip or the ear or finger, and body composition evaluation using a simple scale-like device. * complete one study visit postpartum that includes completing electronic surveys, and measuring heart rate variability. Blood and urine sample collection and body composition evaluation via InBody scale are optional at the postpartum visit. People who are randomly assigned to receive the PTBCARE+ support program will receive several resources to help them during pregnancy. These things include items such as: * a stress reduction toolkit; * access to an online website that can also be downloaded as a smart phone app; * the option to receive an electronic massage while in clinic, and more. * additional support gifts provided at routine clinical appointments People who are randomly assigned to receive usual prenatal care will not receive any additional support resources from the study during pregnancy.

NeuroFinance Human Stress Trial During Financial and Informational Volatility

The NeuroFinance Human Stress Trial (NFHST-2026-001) is a decentralized observational clinical study designed to evaluate how financial market volatility, economic uncertainty, digital media exposure, and information-driven stress environments affect human physiologic and behavioral health. Participants will undergo remote monitoring using wearable biosensors, cardiovascular telemetry devices, sleep tracking systems, heart rate variability monitoring, and behavioral analytics platforms. The study will use artificial intelligence and machine learning systems to analyze relationships between external financial and informational events and biologic stress responses, including autonomic nervous system activity, sleep disruption, cardiovascular strain, emotional resilience, and inflammatory signaling. The goal of the study is to develop predictive digital biomarkers and AI-assisted forecasting systems capable of identifying stress-related physiologic deterioration before clinical manifestation.

Dog-Assisted Therapy in Children During Blood or Dental Extraction.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) during blood extraction or dental procedures in a Primary Care Pediatric Service. Determine the improvement in facilitating the task of venipuncture or dental extraction for nursing or dental professionals. Estimate the reduction in the child's emotional stress during these procedures with the support of a therapy dog. Evaluate the emotional stress in the accompanying family member. These objectives will be accomplished through a randomized open label two-arm controlled study of AAT for children who need a blood or dental extraction.
