Comparing a Guideline-Based Mobile Health Intervention Versus Usual Care for High-Risk Adolescents With Asthma: Protocol of a Randomized Controlled Trial

To ensure confidentiality, several features have been included in the PEAKm AAP and Nutrimap apps to protect participants’ health information in the event their peers look at their phones: The app is password-protected; therefore, only the participants and their caregivers will have access to the mobile and web-based features of the app, including the participants’ protected health information (PHI). The app will time-out after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Grouping Digital Health Apps Based on Their Quality and User Ratings Using K-Medoids Clustering: Cross-Sectional Study

Grouping Digital Health Apps Based on Their Quality and User Ratings Using K-Medoids Clustering: Cross-Sectional Study

A study from 2019 [23] analyzed the most popular mental health apps with the aim to understand how their attributes relate to user ratings, app quality, and classification by the World Health Organization (WHO) health app classification framework [24]. However, due to the heterogeneity of the apps, they were unable to define a core set of features that would accurately assess app quality.

Impact of Ecological Momentary Assessment Participation on Short-Term Smoking Cessation: quitSTART Ecological Momentary Assessment Incentivization Randomized Trial

Impact of Ecological Momentary Assessment Participation on Short-Term Smoking Cessation: quitSTART Ecological Momentary Assessment Incentivization Randomized Trial

One such app feature that can provide tracking and insight into areas such as smoking behavior, key contextual factors associated with smoking, and environmental influences on smoking behaviors is app-based ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) [24]. EMAs involve frequent, repeated sampling of individuals’ environments, affective states, and behaviors [18].

The Impact of an Adaptive mHealth Intervention on Improving Patient-Provider Health Care Communication: Secondary Analysis of the DIAMANTE Trial

The final DIAMANTE intervention tracked participant step counts from pedometers on smartphones, via an application designed in English and Spanish for both Apple App Store and Android Google Play [19]. Further details about the DIAMANTE application design process have been published elsewhere, including details about the reinforcement learning algorithm and the main RCT findings [18].

Reducing Methamphetamine Use in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities With the “We Can Do This” Web App: Qualitative Evaluation of Acceptability and Feasibility

Some participants appeared satisfied: I was hoping that the app would help me on the way and it definitely support me in that direction. I went into the app knowing that I needed to try a lot of things to cut back and get off it [methamphetamine]. Some participants felt challenged by the content of the web application. As one client commented, “Sometimes it hit a little too close to home, what these people are saying” (P184).

Evaluating Theory-Driven Messaging to Overcome the Barriers to Meditation: Large-Scale Digital Field Experiment

The messages were served in the Spotify mobile app and were triggered when people in the sample visited the app’s homepage. The message type and call-to-action from this campaign are similar to the various types of in-app messages and notifications that Spotify users are accustomed to receiving. People who received the message could choose to click the message call-to-action or dismiss the message. By clicking on the message, participants were redirected to an introductory meditation program on Spotify.

Usability and Quality of the JoyPop App: Prospective Evaluation Study

Usability and Quality of the JoyPop App: Prospective Evaluation Study

Although evidence of a mental health app’s effectiveness is essential, it does not guarantee users will engage with or enjoy their experience with an app [15,32]. Student engagement and long-term uptake of mental health apps are typically low [33-35] and can reduce the overall positive outcomes associated with app use [32,36]. Engagement, safety, and overall utility are affected by how usable an app is perceived to be and a user’s perspective on the quality of an app [15,34,36].

Users’ Needs for Mental Health Apps: Quality Evaluation Using the User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale

In Korea, research targeting specific user groups and behaviors, such as hospital employee–focused case studies and app development for anger management, is ongoing, yet a broader understanding of whether these apps meet users’ needs remains limited [18-20]. This study assessed the content and quality of mental health apps available in South Korea from the user perspective, focusing on apps from the Google Play Store and i OS App Store.
