Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Heather L. Moody's research focuses on maternal and perinatal health, with recent work investigating the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) during pregnancy and their association with adverse birth outcomes. She has also explored novel methods for remote patient monitoring in pregnancy, including a feasibility study for hypertension management and a study on uterine contraction monitoring for nonstress testing. Her work extends to prenatal diagnosis, examining magnetoencephalography for fetal seizures, and postpartum health, including a prospective study on insomnia disorder. Additionally, her research includes investigating the neurodevelopmental effects of maternal diabetes in young children and comparing non-invasive methods for assessing pelvic floor muscle strength. Moody has published 13 papers, accumulating 140 citations and an h-index of 4. She collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Hari Eswaran, Rebecca D. Jones, Cheng Peng, and Diana Escalona‐Vargas.
