The development of 'Make One Small Change': an e-health intervention for the workplace developed using the Person-Based Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The application of digital health interventions is widespread and many employers are implementing employee e-health programs. Intended to enhance productivity by increasing wellbeing, workplace interventions often lack evidence of effectiveness and have low rates of retention. Use of the person-based approach (PBA) is one solution, which offers a systematic framework for developing effective digital health interventions. This paper describes the application of the PBA to the development of 'Make one small change' (Cigna MSC™), an online behaviour change system for lifestyle habits focused on resilience, movement, eating and sleep.

Method and results

The development of Cigna MSC™ took place over four stages with colleagues (n = 79) across Cigna globally. App
