ABSTRACT:
Advancements in maternal health care require integration of innovative, evidence-informed strategies to reduce persistent disparities and optimize outcomes. This concept paper explores the prospective role of underwater delivery and therapeutic breathing techniques in enhancing obstetric care within a broader technological and psychosocial framework. Grounded in established literature on telemonitoring, artificial intelligence (AI), emotion-informed communication, and health inequities, the paper outlines mechanisms underlying underwater birthing and breathing interventions and evaluates their potential synergy with digital health tools. A mixed-methods research design—including qualitative interviews, physiological monitoring, and computational linguistic analysis—is proposed to assess clinical efficacy, emotional experience, and equity implications. Findings are expected to inform future models of integrated, patient-centered maternal care capable of improving outcomes and reducing disparities [1-6].
