Evaluating an mHealth App for Health and Well-Being at Work: Mixed-Method Qualitative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To improve workers' health and well-being, workplace interventions have been developed, but utilization and reach are unsatisfactory, and effects are small. In recent years, new approaches such as mobile health (mHealth) apps are being developed, but the evidence base is poor. Research is needed to examine its potential and to assess when, where, and for whom mHealth is efficacious in the occupational setting. To develop interventions for workers that actually will be adopted, insight into user satisfaction and technology acceptance is necessary. For this purpose, various qualitative evaluation methods are available.

Objective

The objectives of this study were to gain insight into (1) the opinions and experiences of employees and experts on drivers and barriers us
