Abstract:	Employees are subject to stress-related diseases such as depression, anxiety, and cardiovascular disease. With an mHealth solutions, this urgent issue of mental health in occupational settings can be addressed to promote and strengthen mental health. An international project is currently developing an mHealth system that takes a user-centred design approach. By using a mobile application in combination with virtual rituality, the aim is to provide a user-friendly and holistic system which uses synergies between classical, established technics (e.g., breathing exercises) and innovative, future-oriented technologies (virtual reality with 3D goggles). As part of the evaluation phase, we aim to interview 60 users regarding the usability and desirability of this mHealth system. In our ongoing research, first results of five users show rather critical feedback. It was mainly the technical aspects that concerned the users. Regarding the interventions, users presented different responses ranging from good to bad feedback. Interim conclusion: the system still is under development and needs further improvement. Based on users’ responses, we want to further develop, refine, and customize the mHealth system to eventually provide an innovative system that promotes employees’ wellbeing in an inobtrusive and enjoyable manner.
