智能手机、平板电脑和智能手表的广泛使用导致了移动的健康（mHealth）研究数量的指数级增长。尽管前景光明，但所有应用程序（包括研究和非研究应用程序）的关键挑战是参与者和用户的高流失率。许多因素已被确定为可能影响参与，重要的是，研究人员考虑这些因素以及如何在研究中最好地克服它们。本文讨论了从尝试最大限度地参与2个成功的英国mHealth研究中吸取的经验教训-多云与疼痛和生活质量，睡眠和风湿性关节炎的机会。
The widespread availability of smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches has led to exponential growth in the number of mobile health (mHealth) studies conducted. Although promising, the key challenge of all apps (both for research and nonresearch) is the high attrition rate of participants and users. Numerous factors have been identified as potentially influencing engagement, and it is important that researchers consider these and how best to overcome them within their studies. This article discusses lessons learned from attempting to maximize engagement in 2 successful UK mHealth studies-Cloudy with a Chance of Pain and Quality of Life, Sleep and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
