Brief Summary

This study explores the feasibility of ContextWell, a well-being education programme that combines an online webinar with an AI-powered behavioural nudging system. The programme aims to support university students, particularly those in healthcare disciplines, in enhancing well-being and adopting healthier lifestyle habits. The primary objective is to determine whether the programme can be feasibly delivered within university settings. A secondary objective is to assess its potential to improve student well-being and encourage behavioural changes aligned with lifestyle medicine principles. The intervention builds on the understanding that healthcare professionals' lifestyle habits and well-being have a direct impact on patient care. Focusing on healthcare students helps advance the integration of lifestyle medicine within health education and clinical practice. This single-group feasibility study delivers the full intervention to all participants. Students participate in an online well-being webinar and receive AI-generated behavioural prompts designed to promote self-awareness and healthier daily choices. Key evaluation measures will indicated the feasibility of the programme among young adults in academic environments. Participant feedback and initial outcomes will support future development and inform larger-scale research.

ContextWell Educational Programme

OTHER

Participants will engage in the ContextWell programme, an online well-being education intervention that supports the development of core meta-skills such as self-awareness, reflective thinking, and value-based decision-making. These skills help participants take ownership of their well-being and support their ability to independently pursue and apply knowledge that promotes health. This includes, for example, adopting principles related to lifestyle medicine such as stress management, sleep improvement, nutrition, and physical activity. The programme does not teach lifestyle medicine directly. Instead, it builds the foundational mindset and capacities that enable participants to seek out and integrate such practices into their lives and future clinical roles.
