Evaluating User Engagement With a Real-Time, Text-Based Digital Mental Health Support App: Cross-Sectional, Retrospective Study

Evaluating User Engagement With a Real-Time, Text-Based Digital Mental Health Support App: Cross-Sectional, Retrospective Study

Furthermore, challenges, such as user engagement [6,9,13], remain. Baumel et al [13]—in an evaluation of 93 digital mental health care apps—found that only 4% of users opened the evaluated apps daily. Accordingly, understanding how people engage with digital mental health care apps is needed to facilitate design elements that may encourage engagement.

Adapting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents in Iraq via Mobile Apps: Qualitative Study of Usability and Outcomes

Adapting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents in Iraq via Mobile Apps: Qualitative Study of Usability and Outcomes

Adolescents may have different expectations for user experience, engagement, and motivation when interacting with digital health tools [33,34]. Additionally, this age group’s developmental and emotional characteristics necessitate a design that fosters engagement and provides adequate support [35-39]. In Iraq, mental health services face significant barriers due to stigma, lack of resources, and geographical constraints, which limit adolescents’ access to traditional therapy.

Sociodemographic Differences in Logins and Engagement With the Electronic Health Coach Messaging Feature of a Mobile App to Support Opioid and Stimulant Use Recovery: Results From a 1-Month Observational Study

Uptake and engagement with the app were higher among those who chose to participate in the research component of this service project, which offered monetary incentives for engagement, compared to those who did not. Variability in uptake or engagement was also observed with respect to gender, age, race and ethnicity, educational attainment, employment, and Medicaid, but not any insurance coverage.

Exploring Engagement With and Effectiveness of Digital Mental Health Interventions in Young People of Different Ethnicities: Systematic Review

While promising, research into DMHI has grappled with variability in terms of user engagement and uptake [14]. Several studies have attempted to explore the factors underpinning poor uptake, suggesting that the factors promoting initial use may differ from those that promote continued engagement [15].

Health Care Professionals' Engagement With Digital Mental Health Interventions in the United Kingdom and China: Mixed Methods Study on Engagement Factors and Design Implications

Besides, virtual reality–based interventions have also begun to garner research focus, with recent preliminary studies demonstrating the effectiveness and high engagement among HCPs [14,15]. Despite the growing evidence of the effectiveness of DMHIs, lack of engagement was frequently reported in trials and studies [6,16]. Many recent reviews have shown that low engagement is a ubiquitous problem among DMHIs [17-19].

Impact of Digital Engagement on Weight Loss Outcomes in Obesity Management Among Individuals Using GLP-1 and Dual GLP-1/GIP Receptor Agonist Therapy: Retrospective Cohort Service Evaluation Study

Engagement with the digital platform’s program was treated as the primary exposure variable. This engagement was designed to capture the extent of interaction with the platform’s core features, hypothesized to be instrumental in achieving and sustaining weight loss. We operationalized engagement based on 3 key behaviors that the clinical and research teams identified as most likely to drive meaningful outcomes.

User Experience With a Personalized mHealth Service for Physical Activity Promotion in University Students: Mixed Methods Study

User Experience With a Personalized mHealth Service for Physical Activity Promotion in University Students: Mixed Methods Study

The challenge remains to maintain long-term user engagement with m Health interventions [16]. Numerous studies have identified poor functionality and technical issues as barriers to engagement with mobile interventions, while design features such as personalization, social interaction, and customized feedback enhance user engagement [16]. Personalization is crucial, as students’ PA needs vary widely [6], and one-size-fits-all approaches are inadequate [27-29].
