Real-World Meditation App Engagement: Longitudinal Study of the Medito App
A longitudinal study published in JMIR mHealth and uHealth examined real-world engagement patterns with Medito, an open-source meditation app. Fifty percent of users engaged for a total of 16 minutes or less in the first month after download. Acute stress motivated meditation app use, while chronic stress disrupted it. The findings have product implications: apps may need different engagement strategies for chronically stressed users versus those seeking acute relief.
