Comparison of Different Requirements for Digital Workplace Health Promotion

Nowadays, workload is constantly growing and competition brings pressure on employers and employees. In addition, more and more people have mental challenges. Meanwhile digital health apps become more and more a trend. However, it is a complex task to set up an application for described problems. The purpose of this paper is to analyze various perspectives for requirements in digital Workplace Health Promotion (dWHP). We analyze findings that consider requirements of dWHP based on expert interviews and a literature review. This contribution summarizes categories of requirements. Moreover, these categories are compared with two existing dWHP apps and their feature areas. The comparison of requirements regarding reviews, interviews and functions of existing dWHP apps show similarities but also differences. Finally, these aspects are considered intensely and investigated for dWHP from three perspectives. The results imply a need for future research on sustainable use of dWHP and provide guidance for important content-related components.
