The Use of Mobile Health Technology and Behavioral Economics to Encourage Adherence to Statins and Blood Pressure–Lowering Medication in Adolescents with Familial Hypercholesterolemia or Hypertension: Protocol for a Pre-Post Cohort Study

The Use of Mobile Health Technology and Behavioral Economics to Encourage Adherence to Statins and Blood Pressure–Lowering Medication in Adolescents with Familial Hypercholesterolemia or Hypertension: Protocol for a Pre-Post Cohort Study

One potential solution to improve adherence is to provide monetary incentives. Traditional economic theory suggests that providing individuals with incentives to complete an action will lead to increased frequency of the occurrence of the desired action. Studies in adults have shown monetary incentives to be modestly successful in certain diseases [38-40], but not all studies have shown positive results [41]. Further, it is unclear if these findings translate to youth.

Incentives and Trust Are the Main Drivers of Recruiting Participants in 6 African Countries via Web-Based Environments: A Vignette Survey Experiment

Incentives and Trust Are the Main Drivers of Recruiting Participants in 6 African Countries via Web-Based Environments: A Vignette Survey Experiment

Further, we find strong evidence in support of the view that financial incentives matter for participation in surveys and blood donation tasks. On average, including financial incentives increases the willingness to participate in surveys or blood tests by about 22 to 26 percentage points.

Tracked Physical Activity Levels Before and After a Change in Incentive Strategy Among UK Adults Using a Rewards App: Retrospective Quasi-Experimental Study

Tracked Physical Activity Levels Before and After a Change in Incentive Strategy Among UK Adults Using a Rewards App: Retrospective Quasi-Experimental Study

With such widespread use, mobile apps show promise as delivery channels for incentives that promote physical activity [3]. Systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials and observational real-world studies suggest that financial incentives are effective in encouraging physical activity [4-8]. Despite their apparent effectiveness, the question remains as to whether financial incentives can offer a cost-effective intervention that should be funded at a population level [9].

Assessing the Response Results of an mHealth-Based Patient Experience Survey Among People Receiving HIV Care in Lusaka, Zambia: Cohort Study

Assessing the Response Results of an mHealth-Based Patient Experience Survey Among People Receiving HIV Care in Lusaka, Zambia: Cohort Study

In addition, we projected the cost for additional response by incentive level based on 1000 invitations to the survey, by comparing the cost of additional response between 2 ZMW (US $0.16) and no incentives and between 5 ZMW (US $0.42) and no incentives. All analyses were completed using Stata BE (Stata Corp LLC).

Understanding Patient Perspectives on the Use of Gamification and Incentives in mHealth Apps to Improve Medication Adherence: Qualitative Study

Understanding Patient Perspectives on the Use of Gamification and Incentives in mHealth Apps to Improve Medication Adherence: Qualitative Study

A Cochrane review [16] into incentives for smoking cessation found that not only the use of financial incentives, either monetary or vouchers, were accepted in multiple mixed-population settings but also there was sufficient evidence to indicate that incentives improved long-term smoking cessation rates. This outcome was also sustained after the withdrawal of the incentives.

Impact of Incentives on Physician Participation in Research Surveys: Randomized Experiment

Impact of Incentives on Physician Participation in Research Surveys: Randomized Experiment

While the influence of the mode of distribution, timing, and type of incentive offered has been evaluated, few studies have explored the impact of varying amounts of monetary incentives on survey completion among physicians [2-4]. We conducted a randomized study to determine to what extent the incentive amount influenced participation among neurologists participating in a case-vignette internet-based survey.

A Digital Health Program Targeting Physical Activity Among Adolescents With Overweight or Obesity: Open Trial

A Digital Health Program Targeting Physical Activity Among Adolescents With Overweight or Obesity: Open Trial

In contrast, in adult samples, physical activity–promoting m Health programs that use adaptive goal setting and incentives are efficacious in increasing physical activity [13]. In addition to electronic tracking and feedback, the application of incentives within an m Health program may further enhance physical activity goal achievement in adolescents with overweight and obesity.

The Use of Gamification and Incentives in Mobile Health Apps to Improve Medication Adherence: Scoping Review

As there is no synthesized literature on the efficacy or use of gamification and incentives in mobile apps for medication adherence, the aim of this review is to explore the current use of gamification or financial incentives in mobile apps to address medication adherence and help identify best practices for future applications.
