“…Finally, our findings add to the debate on the cost-effectiveness of digital health interventions. Similar to the economic analyses undertaken by Kowalski et al (2024), this study indicates that, although notable up-front costs exist, the long-term benefits are realized through reduced healthcare costs and improved employee health. A comparison of the findings of other systematic reviews shows that the effectiveness of digital health interventions varies.…”

“…Other studies, such as that of Kowalski et al (2024), advanced a month-long mHealth stress-management intervention, giving a window from which to assess the digital intervention's effectiveness. Simons et al (2015) decided to implement a hybrid eHealth solution with an immediate and a 6-week post-measurement, mixing the short-term as well as medium-term assessment.…”

“…Kerr et al (2023) evaluated user acceptance and concerns related to value to gauge the reaction around the psyche towards digital stress-management interventions. Central in the studies by Nwaogu et al (2021) and Kowalski et al (2024), where the former identified psychological barriers and motivators, while the latter focused on mental health measures like mood self-monitoring and stress-management education, was also the copious use of psychological measures.…”

With the increasing penetration of digital technologies into health management, digital health interventions in workplaces have been subject to substantial interest. These interventions aim to enhance employee well-being, minimize absenteeism and presenteeism, and augment organizational productivity. This paper carries out a systematic review focusing on the key characteristics of effective digital health interventions designed to enhance health-related outcomes within workplace settings and evaluates their implications for prospective implementation in the workplace. According to PRISMA guidelines, the current systematic review adopted the most appropriate methods to retrieve studies from PubMed, covering interventions that included cognitive-behavioral therapy apps, software that reduces sedentary behaviors, virtual reality for well-being, and comprehensive health programs. The studies’ quality was assessed through standardized tools with a preference for randomized control trials and mixed-methods research. It was found that digital health interventions positively impact mental health, physical activity, and well-being. However, limitations were found due to self-reported data and potential biases. This review identified long-term effectiveness, objective outcome measures, and cost-effectiveness as areas for future research. Digital health interventions hold promise in enhancing workplace health strategies, as they offer scalable, personalized, cost-effective solutions. However, critically relevant research gaps have to be faced to integrate these successfully and exploit their real potential in organizational health strategies.
