User Engagement and Abandonment of mHealth: A Cross-Sectional Survey

Abdulsalam Salihu Mustafa et al.

Summary: Mobile health (mHealth) apps have the potential to improve health outcomes, but there is limited focus on their abandonment. A survey of 209 mHealth users worldwide found that sports and fitness activity tracking were the most common categories of health apps, with most users engaging with them weekly. The main drivers of abandonment were amotivation, loss of interest, and trying different apps to find the most suitable tool. Cost was also an important consideration, with most participants advocating for free or more affordable apps.
