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

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.

Credit and Recognition for Contributions to Data-Sharing Platforms Among Cohort Holders and Platform Developers in Europe: Interview Study

Credit and Recognition for Contributions to Data-Sharing Platforms Among Cohort Holders and Platform Developers in Europe: Interview Study

Despite these advantages, academics from diverse fields have emphasized that broad data sharing is impeded by the lack of incentives for those who share data [2-5]. In this context, incentives for researchers are often understood as interventions that can stimulate researchers to engage in particular behavior—here, open science practices. They may compensate for the lack of recognition or rewards for those who share their data.

Evaluating the Impact of Incentives on Clinical Trial Participation: Protocol for a Mixed Methods, Community-Engaged Study

Evaluating the Impact of Incentives on Clinical Trial Participation: Protocol for a Mixed Methods, Community-Engaged Study

Although it is known that the incentives provided among similar studies can vary greatly [9,12], little research exists on the factors that are considered important for determining appropriate incentives. This raises concerns about the possibility of unduly influencing participation in research due to the type and quality of the incentives provided [8,13-16].
