Background Named by the World Health Organization as “The Health Epidemic of the 21st

Expensive and limited treatments for it have led to the emergence of mindfulness meditation
applications (MM apps) as an alternative way of treatment to enhance wellbeing. Current
investigation has focused on effectiveness, specific populations and has not involve priority
decisions such as the willingness of people to incorporate this mechanism as a different way
to reduce stress.
Methods A cross-national online survey was conducted: two hundred and fifty-seven people
from Colombia and France participate on it. Divided in three sections -stress, familiarity with
mindfulness meditation, experience with MM apps- with unique, multiple, and Likert-scale
type questions, the questionnaire was distributed during one month through social media.
Results Stress source, frequency, experience, and mechanisms to manage it are greatly
common among countries. Short-term engagement, duration and frequency of use are
similar too. Colombians who had use a MM app perceive greater improvement in their
wellbeing than French, and are also more likely to introduce to their life’s MM apps as an
alternative way to reduce stress and enhance wellbeing.

mHealth applications, and it is the starting point for marketers to evaluate if this kind of
applications that are offered as an only global mechanism fit each country’s needs. |
