Description
Sanne H M Kremers and colleagues report a 2026 journal article evaluating an app-based health program for university hospital staff in Amsterdam. Hospital work carries distinctive stress, and the Recharge360 app targeted several lifestyle behaviors with a team competition twist. The single-arm study followed 532 employees, ninety-one percent women, over five months with three five-day program weeks.
Recruitment proved feasible, and well-being scores rose slightly but significantly by the final measurement. The weak spot was staying power: dropout reached up to seventy percent by the last program week, and participation faded over time. The authors conclude hospital-wide app programs can recruit broadly and help a little, but keeping a diverse workforce engaged is the hard part.
