Area of Science:

  • Digital health
  • Mental health interventions
  • Behavior change technology

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated mental health challenges due to social distancing and lockdowns.
  • Pre-existing strain on mental health services highlighted the need for accessible support.
  • Digital health technologies offer a vital solution for maintaining connection and well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the 12-week outcomes of the Gro Health digital intervention.
  • Assessed the app's effectiveness in self-managing mental well-being, sleep, activity, and nutrition.
  • Investigated the role of a digital behavior change app in a crisis setting.

Main Methods:

  • Quasi-experimental, single-arm, pre-post intervention design.
  • Convenience sample of adults using the Gro Health app.
  • Measured anxiety, perceived stress, and depression at baseline and 12 weeks.
  • Correlated app engagement (minutes) with changes in mental health scores using linear regression.

Main Results:

  • 273 participants completed the 12-week study.
  • App engagement significantly predicted changes in anxiety, depression, and perceived stress.
  • Perceived stress showed the strongest association with app engagement (R²=0.479, P<.001).

Conclusions:

  • A digital behavior change platform can effectively manage mental health during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Remote digital health apps can support behavior change and community mental well-being.
  • The Gro Health intervention demonstrates potential for widespread implementation.
