Excessive GWG increases the risk of complications and contributes to the prevalence of overweight and obesity among women of reproductive age. Despite existing guidelines, many pregnant individuals struggle to manage GWG effectively. Therefore, theory-based and evidence-informed interventions that provide continuous support are urgently needed. Mobile health (mHealth) applications have emerged as promising, cost-effective, and accessible tools for promoting healthy behaviors during pregnancy. This study describes the development of a theory-based mHealth application guided by Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study aims to present the design and development process of\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">\u201cGebelikte Kilo Y\u00f6netimi\u201d<\/jats:italic>\n                      (Gestational Weight Management), a user-centered, evidence-based mHealth application intended to promote healthy nutrition, physical activity, and GWG in line with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A two-phase, parallel-group, single-blind randomized controlled trial was designed.
